1# 2# What about libodbc.so? (bug #171370) 3# 4 5According to the upstream authors the library can safely be installed 6as libodbc.so to use it with OpenOffice, R and other applications. 7 8It is not yet done in Debian by default as currently unixODBC maintains 9a symlink to libodbc.so and using alternatives for shared libraries is 10maybe dangerous. We are currently deciding if maybe one ODBC library 11can be dropped alltogether. 12 13last edited: 2004-03-01, ch@debian.org 14 15# 16# Why are .so libraries not in -dev packages?
