unixODBC packages conflict with upstream packages on EL8/9

[siggibdiac]

I'm having a similar problem as:
#39

Microsoft is providing unixODBC packages in the RHEL9 Prod repo:
https://packages.microsoft.com/rhel/9.0/prod/

These packages are newer (2.3.11-1) that the packages that are shipped with RHEL/Rocky 9 (2.3.9-4) and will upgrade already installed unixODBC packages from the distribution.

When did the issue occur?
15.01.2024

If applicable, what package did you attempt to install, and from which repo?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install unixODBC from the RHEL/Rocky 9 distribution.
2. Install the RPM repo: https://packages.microsoft.com/config/rhel/9/prod.repo
3. yum update, and the distribution supplied unixODBC will be overwritten.

Actual Result
unixODBC gets overwritten with a newer version that is not from the distro.

Expected Result
Microsoft should not be shipping updates to upstream packages. Should it be necessary for Microsoft to provide a newer version, then the package should have different name.

Screenshots

Additional context
The same applies to the EL8 repository.
