Re: [aur-general] 'java-runtime' dependency not working as expected

Hi there.

Sudokuki has 'java-runtime' [1] as dependency and I have 'jre7' [2] (from AUR) installed (which 'provides' java-runtime=7)... When I try to compile sudokuki, makepkg warns me:

:: jre7-openjdk and jre7 are in conflict (java-runtime). Remove jre7? :: [y/N]

I don't want to install jre7-openjdk [3], as I need jre7. Why "java-runtime" is not working as expected? How can I make jre7 be recognized as java-runtime ?

Because it wants java-environment as makedependency, so it tries to install jdk7-openjdk, which in turn depends on jre7-openjdk. You need to install jdk7 manually (which also provides java-environment) before compiling.
