EDIT: This should now be resolved and new installs from the app store should work as expected.
If someone had already installed it from the app store and got the failure they would need to access the terminal and run…
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/man/man1
sudo apt-get -f install
which should fix them up. Running the following should come back after that without errors…
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
This update wouldn’t be expected to impact if someone had previously installed Java.
Yes, but there is no date set at this moment. When it comes it will be in the form of a new install and not an update though.
