There doesn't seem to be a way to report bugs with the odbc packages provided.

Any ways here is the bug report:

For Linux debian 11 amd64

apt-cache show  unixodbc-dev
Package: unixodbc-dev
Source: unixodbc
Version: 2.3.11
Architecture: amd64
Section: devel
Priority: extra
Installed-Size: 1698
Maintainer: Ubuntu Developers ******@lists.ubuntu.com
Original-Maintainer: Steve Langasek ******@debian.org
Description-en: ODBC libraries for UNIX (development files)
This package contains the development files (headers and libraries) for
unixODBC, an implementation of the Open DataBase Connectivity interface
for Unix systems.  You should not need to install this package unless
you intend to develop C language applications which use ODBC, or to

It looks like the header file: unixodbc.h is no longer included in the package.

/usr/include/sqltypes.h line 56 tries to load unixodbc.h which is now omitted from the package.

The file unixodbc.h was included in the previous version: 2.3.7.

So this is a bug by omission.

I will do my best to have management reach out from my company to open a formal ticket.
