Hello @bluerobotz

Really? Is it that hard to use the search box? That is discussed a lot of times…

Jre-openjdk jdk-openjdk are in conflict

The following (possibly revised) procedure has been suggested in other forum posts: sudo pacman -Sy jdk-openjdk # Choose `Y` (Yes) to remove each conflicting package sudo pacman -Syu # Answer `Y` (Yes) to rename/replace all packages indicated. I hope this helps.

For passers-by;

This issue dates back to Update 2023-11-13, and is listed under the heading of Changes in JDK / JRE 21 packages may require manual intervention

The following (revised) procedure has been suggested:

sudo pacman -Sy jdk-openjdk
# Choose `Y` (Yes) to remove each conflicting package
sudo pacman -Syu
# Answer `Y` (Yes) to rename/replace all packages indicated.

Or, if using Pamac:

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