Package: odbcinst
Version: 2.2.14p2-5
Severity: serious
Justification: makes odbcinst not very suitable for use in maintainer scripts
Hello,
while I'm filing this bug as serious, feel free to downgrade the severity of
this bug if you think it's appropiate. In any case imho a fix for this bug is
worth to be included in wheezy.
I've been working on the Virtuoso debian package. The maintainer scripts
relies on odbc, the prerm script uses odbcinst with the -l option, thus:
odbcinst -u -s -l -n VOS
however, apparently it doesn't perform the operation like if "VOS" where a
system DSN, but an user DSN. So I've just workarounded this bug using an
evironnment variable which, according to a comment in the odbcinst source
code, is suposed to override the program arguments:
ODBCSEARCH=ODBC_SYSTEM_DSN odbcinst -u -s -l -n VOS
When used this way I think it works as expected.
We noticed this bug when we where trying to fix a a piuparts error, for more
information, see:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=677286
Also note that the reported gave kindly a quick list of other packages which
_might_ be affected:

Thank you for your time looking into this.
