    Hi.

    From what I can see, the package libpq-oauth contains the file:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpq-oauth-18.so

which is dynamically loaded by Postgres, see
https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/master/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-auth-oauth.c#L818

    WRT libcurl, it's not linked but shows in pg_config:

$ pg_config |grep -o "with-libcurl"
with-libcurl
