Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and trying to make Ubuntu better.
As Hugh already mentioned, it seems that you are installing packages not from the Ubuntu archive and that is not supported. This part of the log makes me believe on that: modified.conffile..etc.odbc.ini: [ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server] Description=Microsoft ODBC Driver 17 for SQL Server Driver=/opt/microsoft/msodbcsql17/lib64/libmsodbcsql-17.10.so.5.1 UsageCount=1 There is nothing installed in /opt by debian package from the Ubuntu archive. Since this is an unsupported case, I am marking this bug as Invalid. ** Changed in: unixodbc (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2059883 Title: package unixodbc-common 2.3.9-5 failed to install/upgrade: trying to overwrite '/etc/odbc.ini', which is also in package odbcinst 2.3.11-1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unixodbc/+bug/2059883/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
