securitybreach Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

securitybreach Posted October 12, 2014 Author Share Posted October 12, 2014 Well I do not have java-common installed but I thought maybe others did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichase Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LilBambi Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Java and Java Common are needed if you use VirtualBox right and OpenOffice.org. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Java and Java Common are needed if you use VirtualBox right and OpenOffice.org. Actually it only requires jdk7-openjdk as I do not have java-common installed.
