package bacula-director-mysql 5.0.1-1ubuntu1 failed to install

Binary package hint: bacula

I'm a newbie but think this error is not an actual error but just a result of no server.

It appears that the installation process was unable to contact the MySQL database locally

Did you have any reported issues during the bacula-director-mysql configuration steps?

Thanks

I have reproduced your issue; it appears that the mysql instance is not started until after the bacula-director-mysql configuration step is completed (which will obviously cause this step to fail)

If you allow the installation to complete and then re-configure bacula after mysql has started you should be up and running using the following command:

    dpkg-reconfigure bacula-director-mysql
