Bug#971273: libc6-dev: libpthread_nonshared.a missing from libc6-dev (breaks Oracle 19c setup)
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!
Regards,
Rudolph Bott
