libdbd-oracle-perl for Debian
-----------------------------

To install this package, you need to install the Oracle Instant Client.
This can be downloaded free of cost (an "Oracle Account" is no longer
required):

<https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/instant-client/downloads.html>

Click to "Instant Client for Linux x86-64" (amd64 only, i386 packages
are no longer available since version 23), and get the RPM packages:

- Basic (oracle-instantclient-basic-*.rpm)

Optional: You can use Basic-Lite instead of Basic
          (oracle-instantclient-basiclite-*.rpm)

These permanent links download the latest version for amd64 (linuxx64):

<https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/linux/instantclient/oracle-instantclient-basic-linuxx64.rpm>
<https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/linux/instantclient/oracle-instantclient-basiclite-linuxx64.rpm>
<https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/linux/instantclient/oracle-instantclient-devel-linuxx64.rpm>

Make sure you have these packages installed to convert the
RPM files to Debian:

- fakeroot
- alien

Convert them to Debian packages:

$ fakeroot alien --scripts oracle-instantclient-*.rpm

Install them as root:

# dpkg -i oracle-instantclient-*.deb

Since Debian 13 (trixie), to build and run the package you will also
need to symlink libaio.so.1 -> libaio.so.1t64 (see Bug#1069101 for
details):

# apt install libaio1t64
# ln -snf libaio.so.1t64 /usr/lib/$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE)/libaio.so.1

and then you are ready to build and/or install this package.
