Hi,

Trying to install Oracle Database Express Edition (XE) Release 18.4.0.0.0 (18c) on Ubuntu 14.04 (Linux) using yum and receive the following errors:

You could try
using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running
: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Just trying to follow instructions and unfortunately to no avail.

Using instructions here:

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/18/xeinl/procedure-installing-oracle-database-xe.html

Any help/direction would be great.

Thanks.
Tony.
