Vagrant looking for Java in the wrong directory

I am starting a virtual machine using Vagrant. When I try to start VMware, it keeps giving me the following error:

==> default: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
==> default:  openjdk-8-jdk : Depends: openjdk-8-jre (= 8u141-b15-2~14.04) but it is not going to be installed
==> default:                  Depends: openjdk-8-jdk-headless (= 8u141-b15-2~14.04) but it is not going to be installed
==> default: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
==> default: update-java-alternatives: directory does not exist: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-amd64
The SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status. Vagrant
assumes that this means the command failed. The output for this command
should be in the log above. Please read the output to determine what
went wrong.

What does this mean because I have Java 1.8 on my machine. It is under

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_91.jdk/Contents/Home

which I found by running the command in terminal $/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8

How to fix it?

Works fine. I am guessing that the assembly is automatically popped and takes a while to complete. Now that the build is complete, everything returns as it should.

The problem is not that it is looking for the wrong directory. Vagrant is trying to install OpenJdk8 and for some reason it cannot install openjdk dependencies (apt-get issue). I know this because we started having the same problem 2 hours ago.

We had the same issue when running an automated build on AWS using CodeBuild:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
openjdk-8-jdk : Depends: openjdk-8-jre (= 8u141-b15-2~14.04) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: openjdk-8-jdk-headless (= 8u141-b15-2~14.04) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

This is a snippet from the buildspec.yml file that we run:

  - apt-get update
  - apt-get -y install software-properties-common
  - apt-get update
  - add-apt-repository -y ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
  - apt-get update
  - apt-get -y install openjdk-8-jdk
