I think this is the Java problem that Bryanpwo warned us about, you can read it here.
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…
Edit:
you still have the community repo. There was a change in the repos months ago.
you should change your
/etc/pacman.conf
with the content of
#
# /etc/pacman.conf
#
# See the pacman.conf(5) manpage for option and repository directives
#
# GENERAL OPTIONS
#
[options]
# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.
#RootDir = /
#DBPath = /var/lib/pacman/
#CacheDir = /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
#LogFile = /var/log/pacman.log
#GPGDir = /etc/pacman.d/gnupg/
#HookDir = /etc/pacman.d/hooks/
HoldPkg = pacman glibc dracut kernel-install-for-dracut eos-dracut
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/curl -L -C - -f -o %o %u
#XferCommand = /usr/bin/wget --passive-ftp -c -O %o %u
show original
if you use the standard repos. Of course, it’s best to create a backup before changing the file.
pycrk:
pacman.conf
so i can replace all the content of my pacman.conf with that updated one ?

Either that or even easier you delete the two lines from the community repo.
you mean delete these ?
#[community-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[community]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
am i missing anything ? it did not work

You can’t have both jre-openjdk and jre-openjdk-headless installed. They conflict with each other.
Uninstall one of them.

The community repo has nothing to do with your Java problem, they are independent of each other. As I understood it from Bryanpwo, you would have to remove one of the two Java packages.
i ended removing jre-openjdk since i tried the other one first and had trouble unistalling it

Now you could update your system and see if it works.
