Re: Installing Oracle 19c (19.7) on Oracle Linux 8.2......

I'm a bit late to the part here, but you can apply the patches directly as part of the installation, so no need to install then patch. See second line...

${GRID_HOME}/gridSetup.sh -ignorePrereq -waitforcompletion -silent \   -applyRU ${PATCH_PATH1} \
  -responseFile ${GRID_HOME}/install/response/gridsetup.rsp \   ...

https://github.com/oraclebase/vagrant/blob/master/rac/ol8_19/node1/scripts/oracle_grid_software_installation.sh

This way you don't need to fake the OS distribution either.

Cheers

Tim...
