I have a jetson TX2.
I want to install the database oracle on ubuntu.
However, you need an alien to install the oracle rpm file.
sudo a-t-get update
sudo apt-get install alien
If you enter the above command, the following error message appears.
===========================================
Reading package lists… Done

E: Unable to locate package alien
Why? It is very positive.
It is there, you probably just need to enable the right repository:
root@x2:~# apt search alien

convert and install rpm and other packages
...
This is my “/etc/apt/sources.list” (if you edit be sure to run “sudo apt update” before looking for packages):

I do have doubts Oracle can run on this architecture. I’m very curious to find out if this works.
Thank you for answer.
But…
I have tried apt search as a guide but the following results are shown.

Be aware that if there are any changes to sources.list, then you need to run “sudo apt update” before the changes will take effect. In a similar way, you may need to run “sudo apt update” prior to seeing simple package updates. Have you run “sudo apt update” prior to the “search”?
