[Bug 1464856] Re: package tdsodbc:amd64 0.91-5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128

[Jan van den Hurk]

I do not know what tdsodbc is and i was not configuring it, or not 
intentionally.
I was updating options in libreoffice base with ubuntu software centrum 
which gave problems.
I am struggling with making reports in libre office base or in libre 
office itself.
I am sorry I cannot be more specific.
