Package: libmyodbc
Version: 3.51.06-1
Severity: normal

To get MySQL support in OpenOffice this package seems to be necessary.
I don't know what ODBC is, I just install and it asks: "Do you want MyODBC
to be registered as an ODBC driver?" With default to No.

I think the default should be yes, so it will just work for most users.
Unless you have a reason, of course.

Another thing, in an attempt to get asked the question again I tried:
# dpkg-reconfigure libmyodbc
odbcinst: Driver installed. Usage count increased to 2. Target directory is /etc
# dpkg-reconfigure libmyodbc
odbcinst: Driver installed. Usage count increased to 3. Target directory is /etc

Thanks for looking at this.
