Failure oracle-libs installation

[ec-aoki]

Summary

Since last week, I have been experiencing failures during the installation of the oracle-libs package. I have found a temporary workaround, but I am unsure where to report this issue.

Expected behaviour

Successful installation of the oracle-libs package.

docker run --rm -it postgres:15.4-bookworm bash -c 'apt update && apt install -y oracle-libs'

Current behaviour

Failure during the installation of the oracle-libs package.

docker run --rm -it postgres:15.4-bookworm bash -c 'apt update && apt install -y oracle-libs'

Steps to reproduce

After examining the logs from the failed installation, I found that dpkg-architecture was required. Adding the dpkg-dev package resolved the issue, and the installation succeeded.

docker run --rm -it postgres:15.4-bookworm bash -c 'apt update && apt install -y dpkg-dev && apt install -y oracle-libs'

An excerpt from the logs I referenced:
In the shell script /usr/sbin/oracle-libs-update, an attempt to use dpkg-architecture failed.

/usr/sbin/oracle-libs-update: 39: dpkg-architecture: not found
dpkg: error processing package oracle-libs (--configure):
installed oracle-libs package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 127

Additional context

I confirmed that there was an update to the oracle-libs package last week.

Unfortunately, we do not install, maintain, or support the oracle-libs package you're installing. It looks like the update probably missed a dependency on dpkg-dev (https://packages.debian.org/file:dpkg-architecture).

Thank you. I'll reach out to the team maintaining the package.
