Did you also read the comments? There is a mention of a similar error.

locate uses a database which is recreated usually once per night. Either
you run 'updatedb' as root or use 'find' for new stuff. If you know the
exact location 'ls' is much easier. Try this:

ls /usr/lib/odbc/libmyodbc*

'dpkg -l libmyodbc' will also show you if dpkg *thinks* the package is
installed correctly (dpkg should also be correct about it unless you
messed with the package behind its back).

HTH,
Andrei
