I wanted to use the regular version of byte-buddy and not the jdk5 version. I had the idea to force semver versioning, but then no update at all was created. Seems like there is some problem with semver and versions that exists with both an postfix and as is.

<dependency>
   <groupId>net.bytebuddy</groupId>
   <artifactId>byte-buddy</artifactId>
   <version>1.18.7</version>
</dependency>

1.18.8 and 1.18.8-jdk5 exists. With default versioning (maven) a PR for 1.18.8-jdk5 is created, but if I set:

"versioning": "semver" in renovate.json no PR is created despite that 1.18.8 exists.

It seems like 1.18.8-jdk5 blocks Renovate from selecting 1.18.8.

I've create a small reproducer repo: https://github.com/erilor/renovate-semver

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

You can use package rules. Although I feel this should be built into renovate at this point as author of byte buddy disagreed with community and releases frequently enough its a large problem in general.

Here is a generic package rule to just ice out any jdk5.

"packageRules": [
    {
      "matchPackageNames": ["*"],
      "allowedVersions": "!/.*jdk5.*/"
    }
  ]

or you can be more explicit against byte buddy

  "packageRules": [
    {
      "matchPackageNames": [
        "net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy",
        "net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy-agent"
      ],
      "allowedVersions": "!/.*-jdk5$/"
    }
