sudo pacman -Sy jdk-openjdk && sudo pacman -Syu

OR

pamac install jdk-openjdk --no-upgrade; pamac update --no-aur
3

or what I just did:
remove both of them
do the update
and then reinstall the one that you actually need

Interestingly enough, neither one of these worked.

This did the trick. Just did

sudo pacman -Rcns [packageName]

for each package. Problem solved. Thanks

You pressed Enter instead of y, that’s why the transaction did not complete.

FYI, the capital letter is the default, so in this case you answered No.

pamac response shows it was not allowed to work

Apply transaction ? [y/N] 

Transaction cancelled.

As this has been a problem for 2 weeks, I suggest switching branches from unstable to stable to get better information from the update announcements to resolve known issues
