This might be a use case for remakepkg to remove the replaces-entry in the java10 packages.
*sees people mentioning that tool in serious discussions* *slightly panicks* I see that jre10-openjdk does indeed only replace, but not conflict with jre9-openjdk, so I guess there should be no harm in installing both (but I have not tested it, so expect things to break): 1. Build and install remakepkg from the AUR 2. Write the following REPKGBUILD file: repkg extra/jre10-openjdk remove-replace jre9-openjdk 3. Run `remakepkg` Then again, this is just an alternative to just fetching Arch's PKGBUILD file for jre10-openjdk, editing it, and building the full package yourself. --Tinu
