# oracle-instantclient11.2-dummy

This repository offers a spec file for creating a RPM dummy package requiring the official Oracle Instantclient 11.2. It also pretends to provide **libocci** and **libclnth** required by many Oracle drivers like **perl-DBD-Oracle**. Unfortunately Oracle's official RPM does not have valid RPM **provides** tags resulting in dependency problems when installing software requiring the libraries mentioned above:

```

# yum install perl-DBD-Oracle

...

--> Finished Dependency Resolution

Error: Package: perl-DBD-Oracle-1.74-1.el6.x86_64

           Requires: libocci.so.11.1()(64bit)

Error: Package: perl-DBD-Oracle-1.74-1.el6.x86_64

           Requires: libclntsh.so.11.1()(64bit)

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

```

Using this workaround, it is possible to install the packages:

```

# yum localinstall perl-DBD-Oracle*.rpm oracle-instantclient*.rpm

...

Installed:

  oracle-instantclient11.2-basic.x86_64 0:11.2.0.4.0-1

  oracle-instantclient11.2-dummy.x86_64 0:1.0-1.el6

  perl-DBD-Oracle.x86_64 0:1.74-1.el6

```

See [my blog](http://st-devel.net/blodp) for further detail about this dilemma.
