Describe the Bug

When attempting to build an image using DDEV, the process fails with an error message indicating that the version 2.3.7 is not available for the packages unixodbc, odbcinst, odbcinst1debian2, and unixodbc-dev. This issue arises when using the PHP 8.3 image as a base.

To Reproduce

To reproduce this bug, follow these steps:

Create a new DDEV project by running ddev config in an empty directory.
Add the ddev-sqlsrv add-on by running ddev add-on get https://github.com/kdambekalns/ddev-sqlsrv/tarball/task/support-apple-silicon.
Start the DDEV project by running ddev start.

Debugging

The error message indicates that the version 2.3.7 is not available for the packages unixodbc, odbcinst, odbcinst1debian2, and unixodbc-dev. This suggests that the issue lies in the Dockerfile or the docker-compose.yml file.

Upon closer inspection, it appears that the issue is caused by the use of the PHP 8.3 image as a base. The PHP 8.3 image has a different package list than the previous versions, which includes the packages unixodbc and odbcinst with version 2.3.7.

Expected Behavior

The expected behavior is that the image building process should complete successfully without any error messages.
