Hi, I've just got this output after trying to do a system update "pacman -Syu"

No idea what to do to be honest...

Huge thanks for any help you can give me. Would be good to know a generic solution so I don't have to post a question on the forum every time I get this problem!!!

Generic and specific solution: read the front page news.

JizzaDaMan · 2014-10-13 19:07:58

No worries... I've just read the arch home page... solution was the first topic!

Sorry to waste anyone's time, it's now on my bookmarks bar and will be read thoroughly in future!!!

Glad that worked - please remember to mark the thread as [SOLVED] by editting your first post to revise the title.

Note that news items are not too frequent - so I don't regularly check there myself. But it is my first stop if I see anything out of the ordinary in an update.

Also if you have an RSS reader you can plug in

https://www.archlinux.org/feeds/news/

and then you have easy notification of the news. I believe it also can be emailed to you as well. I'm not sure if that happens as a result of registering here or if I signed up to a special list.

Hello,

So I have the same issue, however:

~ ❯❯❯ pacman -Q java-common
error: package 'java-common' was not found
~ ❯❯❯

Any ideas?

resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

Packages (1): java-runtime-common-2-1
