Package: pike7.8-odbc
Version: 7.8.700-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Please consider the attached patch to make pike7.8-odbc link against unixodbc
in Debian instead of against libiodbc. This is more or less a simple
build-dependency change; a test build here successfully links against unixodbc
just by making sure it's installed at build time.
The libiodbc2 package in Debian is orphaned, and because it is not
multiarch-enabled, the vast majority of drivers in wheezy are incompatible
with this ODBC DM. It would be preferable to consolidate around a single
ODBC driver manager in Debian, which is unixodbc.
