Java users: manual intervention required before upgrade

2014-10-12 - Guillaume Alaux

 

To circumvent a conflicting files issue, manual intervention is required only if package java-common is installed. This can be checked with the following command:

$ pacman -Q java-common

java-common ...

 

If so, please run the following prior to upgrading:

# archlinux-java unset

# pacman -Sydd --asdeps java-runtime-common

:: java-runtime-common and java-common are in conflict. Remove java-common? [y/N] y

# archlinux-java fix

 

You can then go ahead and upgrade:

# pacman -Su

 

Please note that new package java-runtime-common does not use nor support forcing JAVA_HOME as former package java-common did. See the Java wiki page for more info.

I had it installed (though not sure why, probably a dependency of something else I have installed) and the fix worked great. :)

 

Thanks Josh, was going to post this but noticed you beat me this time around. Haha :hysterical:
