There is no bug report yet. My intention was opening a new one once we have figured out this unowned files problem (just in case I am still missing anything).

Ok, just tell me if it works for your or not, if it does I'll file the bug against odbcinst and I'll include a reference to the bug in the prerm script comments, as you suggest. > > Andreas
