As mentioned in the titel the merge of this two packages prevents me from updating.

sudo pacman -Syu gives me the following output:

:: Package databases are synchronised ... core is up to date extra 8.3 MiB 22.2 MiB/s 00:00 [--------------------------------------------------------------------] 100% community is up to date multilib is up to date :: Complete system update is started ... :: replace analitza with extra/analitza5?

Conflicting packages are searched for ... Error: Unresolvable package conflicts found Error: Process could not be prepared (Conflicting dependencies) :: jdk-openjdk and jre-openjdk are in conflict with each other

pacman -Qi tells me the following:

and

Manually updating/removing one of the two packages still gives me the Error that they are conflicting.

Does anyone knows how i can fix this problem?

Same, just pacman -Rdd the jres and headless versions, then updated and everything was fine.

It's okay to tell pacman "I know what I'm doing, ignore broken dependencies" for these kinds of things where you know you'll fix it.

Thanks for the tip. This worked.

Yeah that's the command I used, just couldn't remember it off the top of my head
