unixodbc-dev 2.3.11 seems broken

[Thomas Ward]

Unfortunately here your choices are limited.  The ODBC from Microsoft is different than the one in the repos and the two packages conflict.

>From my experience you will have to pick one or the other - use Microsoft's packaged ODBC and no headers, or use the one in the repos with the headers and not use Microsoft.

Seems it comes as part of msodbcsql18 from official MS repository...

You're right, it came from:

https://packages.microsoft.com/ubuntu/20.04/prod focal/main amd64 unixodbc-dev amd64 2.3.11 [42.1 kB]

What's the best way to install the right package (2.3.11-2) without removing MS repo?

This is not a package that comes from Ubuntu 20.04, and in fact it
doesn't appear to have come from any version of Ubuntu at all (versions
of unixodbc-dev provided by Ubuntu have some kind of suffix after the
upstream version number - for example, the version in Ubuntu 22.10 is
2.3.11-2).  Where did you get it from?  The package is clearly broken,
but that isn't an Ubuntu problem - perhaps you should reinstall the
working version from Ubuntu.
