Installation of OPENJDK6 exists with an error:
"Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: UpdateCertificates : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0
..
..
..
Could not find the main class: UpdateCertificates. Program will exit.
"

I am able to locate the file UpdateCertificates.class afterwards the failed installation.
I've googled a lot on this issue without any reward.
It seems that the class file /usr/share/ca-certificates-java/UpdateCertificates.class is not in sync with the pacman-package?

Output pacman:

sudo pacman -S openjdk6
