Type this:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

This should complete without any conflicts. Assuming that is the case, then retry:

sudo apt-get install openjdk-7-jre

Snow, wouldn't he just need to do:

sudo apt-get -f install

[Xenor]

Well....doing what you said, snow, my Internet broke... but then i re installed and tried your install command and it seems to have worked, its installing now...

[Xenor]
