Don't really know what package is that, but it conflicts with odbcinst1debian2, you can try with unixodbc-dev.

unixodbc (2.2.14p2-5ubuntu3) precise; urgency=low
* Re-add the Breaks: libiodbc2 to odbcinst1debian2, now that soprano is
no longer using iodbc. LP: #901638.

be careful.................. running this

vinny@Vinnys-HP-G62:~$ sudo apt-get -s install iodbc libiodbc2 libiodbc2-dev

would have installed it BUT at the cost of removing almost all of KDE .

go ahead and run it your self and see .... the -s simulates the action
