Oracle JDK 8 is NOT installed.
dpkg: error processing package oracle-java8-installer (--configure):

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I went to the link and it is 404 response. Want to know why this is happening and is there a problem with my public key or what.

Please help. Thanks in advance

Are you sure that OpenJDK 8 won't work for you? Cause you can install just by using:

$ sudo apt-get update 
$ sudo apt-get install default-jdk

If not, you can always manually install the Oracle JDK 8 from Oracle's website. First download and then follow these instructions.

Edit 1: Seems a problem on their side, check: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2374686
For now I recommend to install manually.
