jre7 is in the AUR so pacman won't update it, but jre7-openjdk is in the repos and provides the same 'item' as jre7: java-runtime=7 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/jr/jre7/PKGBUILD https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/jre7-openjdk/ that's why they conflict.
That's not why they conflict. It's because jre7 explicitly has java-runtime=7 as a conflict (among others). 'conflicts' has nothing to do with 'provides'.
You seem to be using jre7. If you want to keep using it, you have to keep jre7-openjdk out. Try adding it to IgnorePkg.
And how will that help?

It seems that a package is updated and the newer version explicitly depends on jre7-openjdk. This is probably a packaging error (although after a quick glance at the repos, I cannot find any such package).
