Please add output of apt-cache policy openjdk-11-jdk to the question. It seems that you have added linuxuprising java PPA. Do you plan to use this PPA?

Does this answer your question? How does APT choose the specific package to install in order to provide a virtual package needed as a dependency?

"apt-get install software-properties-common" for the add-apt-repository command.
