Which problem?

* Different files names

* Different SONAMEs:
# objdump -p \
/usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so.1.0.0 \
/usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so.2.0.0 | grep SONAME
  SONAME      libodbcpsql.so.1
  SONAME      libodbcpsql.so.2

== 2 different shared libraries installed in parallel

=> No conflict, non-issue.

Why they are both being shipped is a different question.
