[Bug 2006998] Re: unable to upgrade package

[Hugh McMaster]

What version of Ubuntu are you running now? And what version were you
running before?

libodbc1 and odbcinst1debian2 are transitional packages and haven't
provided the conflicting files for a long time. I'm actually wondering
if your system has installed packages more recent than the
Breaks+Replaces and kept the older files (since moved to other
packages).

The best thing to do is to purge the transitional packages, libodbc1 and
odbcinst1debian2.

    sudo apt purge libodbc1 odbcinst1debian2

You'll also need to remove (or backup /etc/odbc.ini) to apt to complete
successfully.
