It looks to me like oracle-java7-installer isn't going to work because it is trying to fetch a tar.gz file but oracle won't let that happen because they don't believe that you have accepted their terms and conditions. So instead they redirect your browser to an html file which would normally show a message to that effect... if you were using a web browser. Unfortunately for the installer it still thinks that the file is the tar.gz file it was looking for but when it tries to compare the checksum for the file, of course, it won't be right and nor will any further operations.

You probably want to do

sudo apt-get purge oracle-java7-installer

The good news though is that it looks like you already have openjdk 7 installed. You can use

update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java

to use it and

java -version

to check that it has worked.
It appears that you have another 1.7 jre installed as well but I would try the openjdk one first.
