Do you use the Microsoft ODBC driver for SQL Server by any chance?

This bug has been reported a few times in recent months. In each case,
the submitter is trying to install unixodbc packages from Microsoft's
repository instead of Debian's repository.

The Microsoft packages contain a few different files, making them
incompatible with the Debian versions.

In any case, I spun up a VM with Debian Stable and had no problems
installing odbcinst1debian2 and libodbcinst2.
