Bug#814944: mariadb-connect-engine-10.0: ODBC support apparently not compiled in

[Alan Dennis]

I now have mariadb-connect-engine-10.0 v10.0.25-0+deb8u1 installed 
(jessie-security) and despite this bug apparently being fixed in 
v10.0.24-4, I still get the same behaviour. i.e. trying to connect to an 
ODBC database, gives: SQL Error (1105): Unsupported table type ODBC and 
ldd /usr/lib/mysql/plugin/ha_connect.so output doesn't include unixodbc 
libs.

As this bug renders this package completely unusable, shouldn't the fix 
have been included in Jessie by now?
