thanks in advance for the help

Solution

ODBC Driver 13 for SQL Server that you trying to install is already outdated and doesn't fit to Debian 9 on which is based your Linux distribution.

You supposed to install ODBC Driver 17:

sudo su 
curl https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | apt-key add -

curl https://packages.microsoft.com/config/debian/9/prod.list > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mssql-release.list

exit
sudo apt-get update
sudo ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get install msodbcsql17
# optional: for bcp and sqlcmd
sudo ACCEPT_EULA=Y apt-get install mssql-tools
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/opt/mssql-tools/bin"' >> ~/.bash_profile
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/opt/mssql-tools/bin"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
# optional: for unixODBC development headers
sudo apt-get install unixodbc-dev
# optional: kerberos library for debian-slim distributions
sudo apt-get install libgssapi-krb5-2

Above code is dedicated to Debian 9, and may not work on your system, but most probably will. Code came from: Installing the Microsoft ODBC Driver for SQL Server on Linux and macOS
