    Maybe because the jre thing was an update that required manual intervention, there was an Arch news item about it. You’re expected to read the Arch news before an update when you’re running Arch. This can be automated with alias update='yay -Pw && pacman -syu' If that’s too much for you, use a different distro.

      I just went “Shiit! Am I sitting on potential system breakage?” (because I don’t remember doing any such intervention)
      But turns out it was just a conflicts with change.

      From what I know, pacman straight-up asks you what you want, in these cases. Sure, it’s technically manual intervention, but for me, who scans over updated packages every-time, this is considered standard procedure.

      Manual intervention is when GRUB doesn’t install properly using the suggested command and you have to learn where your distro places the boot image and configure stuff accordingly.

      Also, I don’t have JDK so…
