i don't have any openjdk-9 at all. i do have 17, 18 and 21... i also have another jdk that some other software requires but it is put into its own place and environment variables are set that point at it. all works as it should (it is also a jdk-17 variant and has nothing to do with 9). > I have an oddly dangling package that YOU just helped me FINALLY solve: > linux-image/linux-headers and friends for 6.9.10 also on a Trixie > partition that's a couple years old. :) glad to be of help even indirectly. :) i always make sure my system boots and doesn't give any obvious errors before removing the 3rd one back. i also have links to the current and previous version that get updated when the new kernel is installed. it all just works as it should as long as someone doesn't break it... songbird
