Turns out this was done on purpose. I got a reply in the debug bug[1]:
Debian never packaged odbc_config because the script got several things
wrong. See #422207 [1] for more details.
odbc_config is also incompatible with Debian's multi-arch support, as it
only supports the host architecture.
Anyone wanting to link with the odbc, odbccr or odbcinst libraries
should use pkg-config to get the headers and libraries as required.
Packaging the script would also break multi-arch support.
Here is a minimal example using cmake:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.31)
project(unixodbc_test)
include(FindPkgConfig)
pkg_check_modules(ODBC REQUIRED odbc)
We (Ubuntu) are therefore likely not going to reintroduce odbc_config,
specially not in an SRU.
@spierepf does the suggestion of using pkg-config work for you?
