OL8 aarch64 repository fails on downloading metadata for ol8_oracle_instantclient

user-4l5cmAug 3 2023 — edited Aug 3 2023

Hello,

I'm installing oracle linux 8 on aarch64 platform, to connect to an oracle database 19c using the following procedure.

https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/lacli/installing-ic-arm.html#GUID-09538EE8-5EE8-4319-9B17-DCE0EF0154A0

At installing oracle instant client, I get the following error.

# dnf update

success

# dnf install oracle-release-el8

success

# dnf update

Oracle Instant Client for Oracle Linux 8 (aarch64) 829 B/s | 2.4 kB 00:02

fail

It seems, repodata at https://yum.oracle.com/repo/OracleLinux/OL8/oracle/instantclient/aarch64/repodata/ doesn't match with the package oracle-release-el8. And I thought it might be broken when the new 19.19 was pushed to the repository.

Someone can fix it, please?

Thanks.
