    My package manager has 400+ updates, but I can’t install them because some packages are conflicting, and I don’t have the willpower to untangle that mess.

    I use arch btw. I use the arch-derivative Manjaro, btw.

      First time?

      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.

        I appreciate the effort, though.

            pacman -Syu jdk-openjdk

            automatically remove

                   -u, --upgrades
           Restrict or filter output to packages that are out-of-date on the
           local system. Only package versions are used to find outdated
           packages; replacements are not checked here. This option works best
           if the sync database is refreshed using -Sy.

            try pacman -Sy jdk-openjdk

            Wow I am just now seeing the Arch docs. They are wrong. That’s pretty sad.
