I even tried performing a complete uninstall of everything Java and
then reinstalling and it still failed. As I was poking around the
internets looking for a solution I found someone offering this tidbit
of info. I knew the problem I was having was somewhere in the postinst
script, so I greped in it looking for “cow” to no avail. Willing to
try anything I said, “what the hell”, made the symlink and it worked.
I was as shocked as you.

I believe this is the web page I found that referenced that fix:

Say... what? I have no such dir, and got no such errors...

In fact, to find this, I did :
apt-get source sun-java6-jre
fgrep "cow" sun-java6-6-03/debian/* -R

And I find no references to cows. You sure it's not a previously misconfigured package?
