Thanks for providing additional information.

Let me take a step back and see if I understood the problem.

- Oracle Instance Client links against libaio.so.1

- As part of the time_t 64-bit transition on Noble, we renamed several
of our libraries and appended "t64" to their names.

- Debian decided to perform an SONAME bump in order to avoid some
problems with upstream.  Oracle Instance Client can't find the new
library, and needs to be recompiled.


I tend to agree with Paride here that we probably shouldn't ship a symlink in 
this case.  Moreover, it seems to me that this is actually a bug with Oracle 
Instance Client: it needs to be rebuilt in order to pick up the changes that 
were made in Ubuntu Noble.  This should solve the problem, and IMHO is a 
reasonable thing to expect Oracle to do given that Ubuntu Noble is an entirely 
new release of Ubuntu.

I am going to set this bug's status as Triaged, but will mark it as low
priority since it's something affecting third-party software.

Thanks!
