Hy,
this is my system info:

Everytime I run apt-get install, I have:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libodbc1 : PreDepends: multiarch-support but it is not installable
 odbcinst1debian2 : PreDepends: multiarch-support but it is not installable

How to solve it?

Thank you

What did you install before this and what are you trying to install?

For the first I do not know, I haven't installed things in a long time. I'm trying to install cgi-mapserver

[crramirez]

Can you tell me the result of:

sudo apt policy libodbc1
sudo apt policy odbcinst1debian2

[aborruso]

Can you tell me the result of:

sudo apt policy libodbc1
sudo apt policy odbcinst1debian2

You are very kind.

The first is

libodbc1:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.3.7
  Version table:
     2.3.7 500
        500 https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/microsoft-debian-buster-prod buster/main amd64 Packages
     2.3.6-0.1+b1 500
        500 https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye/main amd64 Packages

the second is

odbcinst1debian2:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 2.3.7
  Version table:

Ok please check the content of your /etc/apt/sources.list file against:

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
# deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main
# deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main
# deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian buster main
deb https://deb.debian.org/debian testing main

The microsoft repo includes a newer version of odbcinst but its dependencies point to buster repo (still)

My sourcers.list is this

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main contrib non-free
# deb-src https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main

deb https://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye-updates main
