jdk-openjdk vs jre-openjdk? archlinux.org mentions it, although the workaround it provides is fake news and also results in pacman complaining about conflicts.
I just removed stuff, abused pacman --nodeps and prayed that my backups would be sufficient to restore my inevitable fuckup (no fuckup happened, somehow). Try that at your own risk though…
I think I’ll just switch to something more user-friendly again. When I installed Manjaro, I thought I liked tinkering. But since then I’ve started working and just want to get home to a functioning computer.
Manjaro nowadays has become a hassle. It used to be really solid around 5-6 years ago. I had it for 3+ years. Then it started breaking a lot. I switched to EndeavourOS 1.5 years ago, been solid since. The jre/jdk issue was pretty painless to deal with as well.
The jre/jdk issue was pretty painless to deal with as well.
What’s driving me away is that I have to deal with it at all. The command just fails and leaves you to google the solution. That’s annoying and unnecessary.
I know now that Manjaro isn’t the OS for me if I’m not willing to do that.

if the sync database is refreshed using-Sy.

I appreciate the effort, though.
Arch and Manjaro tend to have that effect on people, it’s understandable
I feel this, Fedora filled the gap for me. I needed more current software, but if that isn’t a priority Debian is amazing.

If you like to tinker but still have some consistency, I’d suggest gentoo. It’s been really solid for the last 16 years for me.
I didn’t have a problem with their solution on either of my Arch boxes…
It says to use

Wow I am just now seeing the Arch docs. They are wrong. That’s pretty sad.
I’ve solved that problem days ago, I’m more afraid of XDG Portals than Arch Linux being Arch Linux
i just updated jdk-openjdk by it self then did the system update and it worked (endevaros/i3)
Just join the kubuntu gang. Maybe you’ll lose your pride and self-respect, but it’s a simple life.
I don’t want the easy life, if I wanted the easy life I would have bought a macbook for programming and kept Windows with default settings for gaming.
Besides, Kubuntu was my first AND third distro.
… and I have no self respect whatsoever. Nor pride.
