dpkg error when installing JDK7 on Ubuntu12.04

Error message from terminal:

Download done. sha256sum mismatch jdk-7u3-linux-i586.tar.gz Oracle JDK 7 is NOT installed. dpkg: error processing oracle-java7-installer (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: oracle-java7-installer

Install steps:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eugenesan/java

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer

Could you give me some suggestions how to solve the problem?

    Cleanup the failed PPA installation as mentioned in the above link.

    I've installed successfully using the procedure described here:
