I could just remove libreoffice and install it again, to resolve this i guess. Do you have any better way.

The solution is here:

Incoming changes in JDK / JRE 21 packages may require manual intervention

The Arch team announced a possible manual intervention, they announced: (Underneath is a literal quote from the Arch announcement) 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. To sum it up instead of having JDK and JRE packages coexist in the same system we will be making them conflict. The JDK variant package includes the runtime environment to exec…

I have similar problem too with error

:: jdk-openjdk and jre-openjdk are in conflict
→ error installing repo packages
error installing repo packages

This post solved it for me.

I am pleased that your update could be carried out with the help of my post

@pannet1

not marking as solution so that this will live without closing

What is the benefit of this choice?

Marking the solution can be helpful for other people who have the same issue, so they may find the solution more easily when searching the forum.

Remove that mirror from /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

What is “instant” repo?

Changed the title of the thread, as the original made me think it was going to be an article about how to solve general update issues. But this is specific to JDK/JRE.

PS: You can mark it as solved, since solved threads don’t disappear. They are still very much visible.

thanks dalto for coming to my rescue, as always. its gone now.

note: prior i tried running updating arch and eos mirrors. i was not able to make it go that time.

I see someone is stubborn… Okay. Will just mute this.
