If you are no longer using the libraries in /usr/oracle/lib and it is
listed in /etc/ld.so.conf, then you may want to remove the listing of
it in /utc/ld.so.conf.

If apt-get is running ldconfig after it updates libraries (which it
looks like it is) and "/usr/orace/lib" is listed in the dynamic
linker's configuration file, "/etc/ld.so.conf", then ldconfig is
checking that library to help set-up the dynamic library sub-system
and apparently there is something wrong with libvbj30ssl.so.

I suggest removing "/usr/oracle/lib" from "/etc/ld.so.conf" and then
re-running ldconfig.
