Não sei o que excluir / remover. Alguma sugestão? Desde já, obrigado.

EDIT # 1

Adicionando saída da sugestão de Charles Green porque é impossível ler no comentário.

user@mycomputer:~$ sudo apt-get remove --purge openjdk-7-source

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 openjdk-7-jdk : Depends: openjdk-7-jre (= 7u55-2.4.7-1ubuntu1) but 7u71-2.5.3-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Segunda sugestão de Charles Smith.
