I'm trying to install Oracle XE 18c on Fedora 28 and for now I found 2 problems:
- Fedora doesn't provide compat-libcap1 package required by oracle-database-preinstall-18c-1.0-1 rpm. I was able to install this package from CentOS repositories, so this one is solved;
- Following the suggested Quick Start procedure I tried to install the database with yum, but I got an error:
[root@fedora ~]# yum -y localinstall /mnt/vm/oracle-database-xe-18c-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm

I tried also with rpm -i --nodigest /mnt/vm/oracle-database-xe-18c-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm, but this raises another problem:
[root@fedora ~]# rpm -i --nodigest /mnt/vm/oracle-database-xe-18c-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm
warning: /mnt/vm/oracle-database-xe-18c-1.0-1.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID ec551f03: NOKEY
[SEVERE] You have insufficient diskspace in the destination directory (/opt) to
install Oracle Database 18c Express Edition. The installation requires at
least 7680 MB free on this disk.

error: oracle-database-xe-18c-1.0-1.x86_64: install failed
Which is confusing as yum gives that 5.2 G are necessary. Anyone having the same issues? Any suggestions?
