Question on the conflict between libnsl.so.1 and libnsl.so.2 (Doc ID 2854326.1)

in Database Install/Upgrade/Opatch (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered

Hello

We are on Linux 4.18.0-553.44.1.el8_10.x86_64. Oracle database version 19. 26.0.0.0.

When compiling an ANSI "C" application using the gcc compiler and then linking the libnsl libraries, we get the warning.

"libnsl.so.1 needed by /u01/app/oracleg/product/19.0.0/db_1/lib/libclntsh.so, may conflict with libnsl.so.2"

We followed the directions in Doc ID 2854326.1 which eliminated the warning. However, every month, our server support group applies Linux patches and changes to meet certain STIGs which reverts the symbolic link back to the original state.

My question is this. In a future Oracle Patch, is the correction going to be made to use libnsl-2.28.so instead of pointing libnsl.so.1 to libnsl.so.2?

Howdy, Stranger!
