libct3 missing package

Post by alex.barylski »

I downloaded the latest version of Debian a few days ago...I need to have my PHP code connect to a MSSQL server through ODBC.

According to documents I have read, the package 'libct3' is required along with a few others -- howevere when I attempt to install this package via apt-get I get an error:

Code: Select all

debian:/etc/freetds# apt-get install libct3
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libct3 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
  freetds-common
E: Package libct3 has no installation candidate
I have gone through all the steps in the articles I have read about connecting to MSSQL and this package remains the only one to not install which I am willing to bet is causing my ODBC connection errors.

Anyone?

I did an apt-get update and seached and use libct4 (which wasn't authorized) and now everything appears to work :)
