Hello,
this might well be something wrong on my side, but:

[dirac@localhost ~]$ sudo yum install java-11-openjdk

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Hi Federico!

thanks for the report, this is indeed likely an issue with the packaging in CernVM4. Note that the updated CernVM5 images should go into production soon, it’s highly recommended to update once they are available.

I’m not entirely sure of the ramifications, but a possible workaround is removing the cernvm-system metapackage: yum remove cernvm-system. After that it is possible to update and install java, but it might break the vm in other ways so use at your own risk. We’ll try to update the package in the next days which would also fix the issues.
Cheers,
Valentin
