Package: libdbd-oracle-perl Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
the libdbd-oracle-perl package depends on the Instant Client,
according to the instructions in debian/control it should be
downloadable at the Oracle web page as an rpm.
However, I fail to find it. Can you please check and provide updated
instructions?
Some details:
The provided link
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html
redirects to
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/instant-client/index-097480.html
The visible instructions don't mention an RPM anywhere.
The "Instant Client for Linux AMD64 (32-bit and 64-bit) Instant Client
for Linux AMD64 (32-bit and 64-bit)" in the 64 bit variant (seems to be
the right thing) leads to
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux-amd64-093390.html
| Instant Client Package - Basic: All files required to run OCI, OCCI, and
JDBC-OCI applications
| instantclient-basic-linuxAMD64-10.1.0.5.0-20060519.zip (32,200,686 bytes)
(cksum - 991396986)
This zip file, downloaded by a friend, contains shared objects, java
classes - but no RPM.
Are the RPMs gone or have the just been hidden very well? Please note
that in my understanding the unavailablability of the
oracle-instantclient12.1-basic* package makes libdbd-oracle-perl
uninstallable, hence unusable.
