Jre and jdk conflict while doing a pacman update

Hi,

I tried to update my system, and get the below error -

➜ ~ sudo pacman -Syyuu
[sudo] password for murtaza:
:: Synchronizing package databases…
endeavouros 26.7 KiB 15.2 KiB/s 00:02 [----------------------------------------------------------] 100%

error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: jdk-openjdk and jre-openjdk are in conflict

The above error started a couple of weeks back.

I only have one java environment installed -

➜ ~ archlinux-java status
Available Java environments:
java-21-openjdk (default)
➜ ~ java --version
openjdk 21 2023-09-19
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 21+35)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 21+35, mixed mode, sharing)

If I try to uninstall the jre I get the following error -

➜ ~ sudo pacman -R jre-openjdk
checking dependencies…
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: removing jre-openjdk breaks dependency ‘jre21-openjdk=21.u35-3’ required by jdk-openjdk
:: removing jre-openjdk breaks dependency ‘java-runtime’ required by leiningen

How do I resolve the above conflict ?

Just read the top pinned post on the forum :wink:
