As mentioned in the titel the merge of this two packages prevents me from updating.
sudo pacman -Syu gives me the following output:

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?
The recommended command doesnt work for me. I get the same error message mentioned in my post.
Might try just removing it, pacman -R jre-openjdk and then pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk
Had this happen to me with a headless and non headless version. Forcing the system to delete the headless version fixed the problem for me. It might give errors about dependencies, I just ignored them and forced a deletion and it went fine.
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.
stay up to date with arch news. you can subscribe to the feed, or just periodically check like I do
You can also use informant, which will notify you of unread news when using pacman
Paru has this funtionality build in. I don’t remember whether it is enabled by default though.
No, I think you have to enable it by default. I moved back to yay some time ago, because paru development seemed stalled (e.g. paru -G not working anymore) but the news integration was one of its nice small features that I have not seen somewhere else.
I fixed it by just uninstalling all java packages and reinstalling jre-openjdk and jdk17-openjdk.
