Man, if you have stable and testing in your server, try to install
tdsodbc and freetds from testing, for in stable, at least with tdsodbc,
conflicts with unixodb. Maybe the same is happening with freetds
In my machine I have:
enigma:~# dpkg -l|grep odbc
rc odbcinst1 2.2.4-11 Support library and helper program for
acces
ii odbcinst1debia 2.2.11-13 Support library and helper program for
acces
ii php4-odbc 4.3.10-16 ODBC module for php4
ii tdsodbc 0.63-3 ODBC driver for connecting to MS SQL
and Syb
ii unixodbc 2.2.11-13 ODBC tools libraries
enigma:~# apt-cache policy tdsodbc

aptitude install php4-odbc -ttesting
