If you can’t be bothered to watch the Unstable Updates threads, then you have no business using the unstable branch.

[Unstable Update] 2023-10-08 - GNOME 45

Incoming changes in JDK / JRE 21 packages may require manual intervention 2023-11-02 - Frederik Schwan We are introducing a change in JDK/JRE packages of our distro. This is triggered from the way a JRE is build in modern versions of Java (>9). We are introducing this change in Java 21.

@Lycan

Well, yes. That’s what it says:

@Yochanan

If you have both JRE and JRE-headless you will need to choose one of them and install it manually since they would conflict each other now.
