404 not found:
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … -unixodbc/

Are there any other more detailed instructions?

The erlang bindings for odbc will soon be unavailable (after the erlang package is upgraded, the beam provided in the original erlang-unixodbc package may become unavailable due to Erlang VM version mismatch.

What I want to know is:
Why delete this package? Will this package be returned to arch linux in other ways?
For example, make the erlang package depend on `unixodbc` and use the option `--with-odbc`
