It will work fine once the R version that is currently in unstable migrates
to testing -- presumably in two or three days as it has passed 8 out 10 days
of the required waiting period.

In the meantime, you can either

   - install the R version from unstable (which is what I would do), or

   - rebuild the r-cran-rodbc locally on your machine against your R
     version, or

   - as you did, use a prior version.

You could try using a newer R.

Sorry about the nuisance, this is the small price we pay for testing the new
R releases in unstable before they come out.   Typically we only get warning
and not such a failure which is why we do not add versioned Depends or
Conflicts. 

Hope this helps,  Dirk
