[odb-users] version b.27 seems to be broken in cppget

[NIkolai Marchenko]

Just to reiterate:
This compiles perfectly fine and works:
bpkg build odb/2.5.0-b.25+1 at https://pkg.cppget.org/1/beta

This produces an error (which sent me deviating from the manual as I didn't
realize the version itself is faulty):
 bpkg build odb at https://pkg.cppget.org/1/stable
