[Bug 2006998] Re: unable to upgrade package

[Lukas Gamp]

sudo apt purge libodbc1 odbcinst1debian2

returns:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package 'libodbc1' is not installed, so not removed
Package 'odbcinst1debian2' is not installed, so not removed
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 unixodbc : Depends: odbcinst1debian2 (>= 2.3.11) but it is not going to be installed
            Depends: libodbc1 (>= 2.3.11) but it is not going to be installed
 unixodbc-dev : Depends: odbcinst1debian2 (= 2.3.11) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


I am using wine. Can it be that the package manager is noticing them, but the are installed as virtual packages? So they are not found by apt?

Any solutions out there?
