sudo apt update
sudo apt install openjdk-7-jdk -y

This broke on Ubuntu Xenial 16.04.3 when openjdk-7-jdk 7u151-2.6.11-1 came out. I get:

$ sudo apt install openjdk-7-jdk openjdk-7-jre openjdk-7-jre-headless libfontconfig1

libfontconfig1 is already the newest version (2.11.94-0ubuntu1.1).
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 openjdk-7-jre : Depends: libfontconfig1 (>= 2.12) but 2.11.94-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed
 openjdk-7-jre-headless : Depends: libfontconfig1 (>= 2.12) but 2.11.94-0ubuntu1.1 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Adding fontconfig to preferences results in a mess:
