Bug Description
When attempting to install Oracle client 10.2.0.x on Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)
I received the following:
Exception java.lang.
/tmp/OraInstall
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory occurred..

I realize the the Oracle client software is not "certified" for Ubuntu but the
fact that the libXp.so.6 is missing will most likely cause other applications
depending on libXp.so.6 to fail. With the way Ubuntu peroforms on my laptop I
would rather use Ubuntu over Windows anyday :)
Thanks!

Do you have the package libxp6 installed from the universe repository?
