reassign 639300 soprano retitle 639300 please build against unixodbc-dev instead of libiodbc2-dev thanks Hi folks, This week with Christoph Berg's help, unixodbc has been converted for multiarch in unstable along with the common drivers: libmyodbc, tdsodbc, and odbc-postgresql. The converted drivers are now all installed in /usr/lib/<arch>/odbc, and the /etc/odbcinst.ini config has been updated to use relative paths instead of absolute ones. libiodbc2, which has been orphaned for nearly three years, has *not* been updated for multiarch, and so libiodbc will fail to locate these drivers on disk. As a result, these drivers declare a Breaks: against libiodbc2. I do not intend to update libiodbc2 for multiarch. Instead, I would like to propose its removal from the archive. Historically, we have carried both unixodbc and libiodbc2 in the archive to avoid a circular build-dependency: Qt build-depends on ODBC for its database support, and UnixODBC build-depends on Qt for its GUI tools. The most recent upstream version of UnixODBC resolves this, because in addition to being updated for Qt4, the latest upstream release also splits the GUI tools into a separate source distribution, which I have just uploaded to unstable. So I am reassigning this bug to soprano. KDE maintainers, please switch soprano to build against unixodbc-dev instead of libiodbc2-dev. (I will file separate bugs against the other reverse-dependencies, but for soprano someone has beaten me to it.) Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
