jre dependency breaks jre<12 required by jdk

I'm a bit at loss here, I've got jre and jdk installed from AUR and I'm struggling to upgrade to the latest version.
what I'm getting when trying to install jre (12.0.1-1) is the following error:

error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing jre (12.0.1-1) breaks dependency 'jre<12' required by jdk
2019-05-20 14:45:49,468 - wrappers - pacman - ERROR - pacman query ['sudo', 'pacman', '--upgrade', '--asdeps', 'jre-12.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz'] failed

In AUR it's been suggested to build manually (see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jdk/) as I'm using aurman, but I wonder if at all there's a better way to deal with this, since it's already the third time I'm getting stuck into this.

You have to install both at the same time.

Ah, no, there is no other way. Your aur helper cannot handle this issue which is really a non-issue if you just properly build the packages then install them together.

If you want to file a feature request with your aur helper, this is not really the place to do it.

EDIT: if your aur helper passes additional flags on to pacman, you could try adding the '-d' flag to bypass the dependency checks during installation. But I'd not really advise this approach.

Moving to AUR issues.

thanks both for the information, wasn't aware where the problem would stand.
