While installing, java made the above mentioned error, but then adept crashed 
and it seems that the lockfile is still locked, because i was not able to 
reopen adept "because of another process using the package database". 
"sudo apt-get install" said I should do "sudo dpkg --configure -a" 
I got the output: 
......

 nochmal installieren, bevor Sie die Konfiguration versuchen.

after doing "sudo aptget install language-pack-kde-de-base --reinstall"
I could start adept normally and update all packages.

but firefox &java still ere not installed.

I gave it another try which ended with the successful install of firefox
and a corrupted j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin.
