Package: libaio1t64 Version: 0.3.113-8 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
When installing the "new" package libaio1t64 package in Debian testing or Ubuntu Noble, the previously available libaio.so.1 file/symlink is no longer available. This effectively breaks non-debian built package like for example the Oracle Instant client which would need a libaio.so.1 compat symlink to "work". This was for example reported in Oracle forums here: https://forums.oracle.com/ords/r/apexds/community/q?question=instant-client-on-ubuntu-24-04-noble-numbat-7244 I see that for #1067831 you added a compat symlink, but only for the udeb package, and apparently in the dicussion the idea to add this symlink in the base package rather the udeb one was ruled out. However in practice it means third party binaries like the oracle ones are still broken unless a symlink is manually created. If there is really an issue with adding it in the package, can we at least consider Raphael Hertzog's propsal to add it as a postinstall step (checking if the libaio.so.1 exists and if not symlink it) ?
