I guess the problem is not about iODBC finding shared drivers like libmyodbc. Instead a driver build against unixODBC is not compatible with one build against iODBC. See bug #598787. This means if both iODBC and unixODBC are kept, separate packages for libmyodbc are needed. I have had a look at the upstream. http://unixodbc.svn.sourceforge.net/ shows active development. http://iodbc.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/iodbc/iODBC/iodbc/ shows no activity since 2009. I guess the next step should be to ask the upstream author of iODBC, if iODBC will be supported in future. Best regards Xypron -- NEU: FreePhone - 0ct/min Handyspartarif mit Geld-zurück-Garantie!
