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!
