Package: libmyodbc
Version: 3.51.11-5
Severity: important

libmyodbc depends on libmysqlclient12. This version is too old for
some purposes. For example when connecting with DataArchitect from
thekompany (a commercial database modelling application) to a mysql4.1
database, an error occurs, saying that the mysql client version is too
old for the used authentication mechanism:

"Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server;
consider upgrading MySQL client"


I've compiled libmyodbc using libmysqlclient14 instead of
libmysqlclient12 and now this error is gone. So there are should be
packages for libmysqlclient14 and libmysqlclient15, too. 

Maybe it would be enough to depend on _any_ version of libmysqlclient
(then there should be a meta-package of libmysqlclient), but I do not
know whether this would lead to other incompatibilities.
However, in the current situation the only available libmyodbc package
is not usable with the mysql4.1 package available in Debian.
