The problem is that the dependencies of tdsodbc are strange: $ apt-cache show tdsodbc Package: tdsodbc Source: freetds Version: 0.82-8 Replaces: freetds0, libct0, libct1 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3), odbcinst1debian2 (>= 2.2.11-3), debconf (>= 0.5) | debconf-2.0, freetds-common Recommends: libodbc1 | libiodbc2 Conflicts: freetds0, libct0, unixodbc (<< 2.1.1-2) Breaks: libiodbc2, odbcinst1debian2 (<< 2.2.14p2-3), unixodbc (<< 2.2.14p2-3) So it Recommends libiodbc2 but it also unconditional Breaks it… (It is maybe worthwhile to simplify odbcinst1debian2 relations, too) The message from APT could be better, but this message is a catch-all at the end and tries to give a reasonable guess (hence the 'may'). As this situation is relatively hard to detect and so uncommon & a bug in the dependencies i don't think it is worthwhile to add a handler or that, therefore just a reassigning and not cloning.
