[Bug 2007288] [NEW] libodbc1 upgrade attempts to overwrite shared library

Tue Feb 14 15:27:16 UTC 2023

Public bug reported:

Upgrading libodbc1 fails with the following error below. I can probably
get past this with dpkg -i --force-overwrite but it seems risky.

The following packages will be upgraded:
  libodbc1 odbcinst odbcinst1debian2
3 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B/607 kB of archives.
After this operation, 836 kB of additional disk space will be used.
