bacula-director script broken

[CaptRon]

Binary package hint: bacula

In the change to bacula 2.2.8-5, the bacula-director script breaks on my server. I get Syntax error: "fi" unexpected (expecting "then") at this code:
   if do_start; log_daemon_msg -n "Starting $DESC: "; fi

The older version had this:
   if do_start ; then echo "$NAME."
   else echo "failed." ; fi

If I change the code to the old version OR change the logic of the new version, I get the following error:
log_daemon_msg not found

Whazzup?

Thanx,
-Ron

The script is broken since it appears to be expecting bash instead of dash. That is why the if is broken.

Secondly, the log_daemon_msg appears to have been replaced with log_begin_action_msg in ubuntu, causing the second error.

I can confirm that the current package is broken.
