Package: libmyodbc
Version: 3.51.15r409-4
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable

When attempting to use replacable parameters, I see:

/usr/lib/ghc-6.10.1/ghc: relocation error: /usr/lib/odbc/libmyodbc.so:
symbol mysql_odbc_escape_string, version libmysqlclient_15 not defined
in file libmysqlclient_r.so.15 with link time reference

Upgrading to myodbc 5.1.5r1144 fixes the problem.

I had reported bug #505938 with this problem last fall.  It has been
unfixed, and reassigned to a different package.

I reported back then that a newer libmyodbc would fix the problem, and
that continues to be the case.  Regardless of whether there is a bug
in libmysqlclient15off, I feel that there *is* a bug in how myodbc is
working at present, one that is fixed by upgrading to a newer upstream
version.

So I have gone to the effort to package the newer upstream version,
because myodbc is useless as it is in a great many situations.

You can find it in my git repo here:

Alternatively, you can download some plain-text diffs:

  (essentially the .diff.gz for this one)

diff from debian 3.51.15r409-4 to 5.1.5r1144:

  (includes both Debian and upstream tweaks -- apply on top of
  3.51.15r409-4 source tree to get 5.1.5r1144 source tree)
