Hi all,

Here's something that doesn't come up very often. It appears that
the libiodbc package in BLFS overwrites files that are installed by
the BLFS package unixODBC (or vice-versa, depending on how you view
it).

My script reports this when installing libiodbc after unixODBC is
already installed:

The following files will be overwritten:
/usr/include/odbcinst.h
/usr/include/sql.h
/usr/include/sqlext.h
/usr/include/sqltypes.h
/usr/include/sqlucode.h
/usr/lib/libodbc.so

This is not good. If this has been discovered and discussed already,
please excuse the noise, but I would like to know what resolution
came from the issue. If it has not been discovered, then I think a
discussion on how to proceed is warranted.

Fortunately I converted to DESTDIR builds and an extensive logging
mechanism years ago, otherwise I would have a very conflicting
ODBC installation on my system (as I think others probably have).
