I have upgraded my databases today. I know I am lazy and that the
DBRU came out on Tuesday, 10/15/2024, but that's OK. Laziness is a
virtue in the IT world. However, this list is not about my mom's
mistakes in my upbringing or my psychological traits, it's about
Oracle. My databases are running on VirtualBox VMs, several of
them. I noticed that on Oracle 19c, opatch took more than 1:30
hours just to check the requirements. After the requirements were
checked, the rest went fine, but one hour thirty minutes just to
check the requirements? Here is a sample:
bash-4.2$ time
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply

Verifying environment and performing prerequisite checks...
^C
OPatch failed with error code 130
user 36m58.117s
sys 0m6.585s
This is not the whole thing, I broke it after 35 min with '^C".
Does anyone have any explanation or will I have to spend an
evening doing "strace"?
