[SOLVED] java jre update gives error

Running pacman -Syu in a system with java jre/jdk installed gives the following errors during the update - and re-installing gives the same errors on update to version 20.0.1.u9-1:

:: Processing package changes...
( 1/14) upgrading jre-openjdk-headless                 [############################] 100%
'/usr/lib/jvm/java-19-openjdk' is not a valid Java environment path
( 2/14) upgrading jre-openjdk                          [############################] 100%
'/usr/lib/jvm/java-19-openjdk' is not a valid Java environment path
error: command failed to execute correctly
( 3/14) upgrading jdk-openjdk                          [############################] 100%
'/usr/lib/jvm/java-19-openjdk' is not a valid Java environment path

Is this a packaging bug?  If so is there a simple fix?

Downgrading back to version 19.0.2.u7-2 gives no errors during that downgrade, so presume it is indeed a packaging error.

Re: [SOLVED] java jre update gives error

Thanks - hopefully the package(s) version 20 will be fixed before long.

Edit: Fixed in version 20.0.1.u9-2  - great fast response from the dev team

Yes, second update fixed the issue.
But when I run "java --version", I get this output:

[0.006s][warning][cds] A jar file is not the one used while building the shared archive file: /usr/lib/jvm/java-20-openjdk/lib/modules
[0.006s][warning][cds] /usr/lib/jvm/java-20-openjdk/lib/modules timestamp has changed.
openjdk 20.0.1 2023-04-18
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 20.0.1+9)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0.1+9, mixed mode) 

Just want to know whether the first two lines are normal or not? Because, I'd never seen such before.

Waiting for your reply!

Re: [SOLVED] java jre update gives error

2nd update still isn't right, /usr/bin/java has a broken symlink.

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Jan 19 12:33 /usr/bin/java -> /usr/lib/jvm/default-runtime/bin/java

the only folder in /jvm is /usr/lib/jvm/java-20-openjdk/

Re: [SOLVED] java jre update gives error

What does `archlinux-java status` tell you?

EDIT: and `pacman -Qik java-runtime-common`

Re: [SOLVED] java jre update gives error

Does "archlinux-java fix" (as root) resolve this?
