December 27, 2016Problem installing openjdk-11-jdk
What Debian version? Bookworm ships openjdk-17-jdk. 11 was in buster. As to why you're running a v16 JRE, no idea, you likely have some JRE in the path or installed some weird package from outside the Debian repositories. Running which java should at least give you a hint. More on reddit.com

The one I did on 16.04 was:
For OpenJDK 8.X
sudo apt install openjdk-8-jre
For OpenJDK 9.X
sudo apt install openjdk-9-jre
Note: There was no openjdk-6-jre nor openjdk-7-jre for me on Ubuntu 16.04. Also there is NO need to install Oracle JDK (Actually OpenJDK is much better than Oracle one for me).

Which distro are you using? Which version of said distro are you using? In other words, you should ask better questions if you want people to be able to help you. Be efficient, add all relevant information to your post and no more than that.
