Title:
  'odbcinst -q -s' fails with "odbcinst: SQLGetPrivateProfileString
  failed with ." when ~/.odbc.ini does not exist

Status in “unixodbc” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  odbc fails with:

  odbcinst: SQLGetPrivateProfileString failed with .

  which isn't a useful error message under any circumstances.  However,
  in this case I have libmyodbc, the MySQL ODBC driver, installed.
  Thus, it should show up in response to that query.
