Problems with Java?

For an application, I need sun-java6-jre (headless). However after a standard Debian Squeeze/Sid update/full-upgrade, I am having problems with 'ca-certificates-java' configuration. It seems there is an issue concerning file '/var/lib/dpkg/info/ca-certificates-java.postinst'. It seems that the issue has been around for a while (google) and reports the code as below.

dpkg: error processing ca-certificates-java (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 134

I note there is a distinct issue with the debian repositary in that sun-java-bin is only for intel/amd architectures. Armel or all does not seem to be available. At least in Sid. Not sure if that is a reason for the prob.

Anyway, has anyone encountered the problem, and if so, come up with a fix?
