Package: libc6-dev Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
we are trying to install an Oracle 19c database server on a Debian Buster system. Installing this piece of software has not always been easy on Debian systems (as it is not an officially supported by Oracle), but worked more or less painless. However, installation of the current version 19c (and probably older versions as well) breaks as the installer is trying to link against 'libpthread_nonshared.a', which has been removed a while ago from the Debian packages. The same has happened to e.g. the Fedora glibc packages, but an additional compat package has been released to restore the 'libpthread_nonshared.a' file to support installations of Oracle databases (see [1]). Would this also work for Debian or is there any other possible solution? If you need more information, we are happy to provide it. Just let us know!
