Eugen,

ptlib on i386 was built with odbc support enabled, as it was picked up by 
default with my build environment - of course the other buildd's are built in 
a chroot and don't pick up things like this by default.

This is good that this has been identified, as we don't want things to fail 
for random reasons, even when people have different build environments.

Bug. Either;

1. ptlib should Build-Depend: on unixodbc-dev, ptlib is built with odbc 
support & libpt2.4.2-dev should Depend on unixodbc-dev, or

2. ptlib should Conflict with unixodbc-dev and we should disable odbc support 
with the configure option --disable-odbc

I intend to fix via 1. and upload a binNMU of ekiga on i386, if this wasn't 
experimental we could also request a binNMU against all arches, but that is 
probably overkill for this bug.

Mark
