bacula-director does not start, dummy libbaccats

[Scott Moser]

On 5.2.3-0ubuntu3, reported from bug 897303.

The latest package installed
When attempting to start the bacula-director the following error is logged, and the service does not start.

08-Feb 18:59 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Please replace this dummy libbaccats library with a proper one.
08-Feb 18:59 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Could not open Catalog "MyCatalog", database ";".

bacula has mulitple implementors of the libbaccats.so (pgsql, sqlite3, mysql).

It seems like the right place for this library is in the bacula-common-<variant> package.

After one change to get the correct libbaccats-<variant>-<version>.so copied in, I have layout like:
  /usr/lib/bacula/libbaccats-5.2.3.so -> libbaccats-mysql-5.2.3.so
  /usr/lib/bacula/libbaccats-mysql-5.2.3.so
  /usr/lib/bacula/libbaccats-mysql.so -> libbaccats-mysql-5.2.3.so
  /usr/lib/bacula/libbaccats.so -> libbaccats-5.2.3.so

However, doing that results in dpkg-shlibeps complaining and failing as :

| dh_shlibdeps -pbacula-sd-mysql -Lbacula-common-mysql
| dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/bacula-common-mysql/usr/lib/bacula/libbaccats-5.2.3.so has an unexpected SONAME (libbaccats-mysql-5.2.3.so)
| dpkg-shlibdeps: error: no dependency information found for debian/bacula-common-mysql/usr/lib/bacula/libbaccats-5.2.3.so (used by debian/bacula-sd-mysql/usr/bin/bscan).
| dh_shlibdeps: dpkg-shlibdeps -Tdebian/bacula-sd-mysql.substvars -Sdebian/bacula-common-mysql debian/bacula-sd-mysql/usr/bin/bcopy debian/bacula-sd-mysql/usr/bin/bscan debian/bacula-sd-mysql/usr/sbin/btape returned exit code 2
| make: *** [binary-arch-common] Error 2
| dpkg-buildpackage: error: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2

I'm not sure how to work around this, because bacula is certainly intending to provide the file libbaccats-mysql-5.2.3.so as libbaccats-5.2.3.so.

just for the record, to get the correct libbaccats installed, I've just changed debian/rules like:

This bug was fixed in the package bacula - 5.2.5-0ubuntu1

---------------
bacula (5.2.5-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
    * fixes SONAME of libbaccats-{mysql,pgsql,sqlite3}-<version>.so to be
      libbaccats-<version> which made dh_shlibdeps fail in 5.2.3 after
      correct libraries were copied.
  * copy correct backend-specific libbaccats files to the appropriate
    package to not have only the dummy library (LP: #929523)
  * include /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu in build-time --with-mysql search path
  * fix database creation data so it works with mysql 5.5

@Sandy,
  Could you please put this through some test?
 I've verified the mysql daemon installs and starts.

[Sandy Mackenzie (sandy)]

A reboot took care of the following.
"bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Please replace this dummy libbaccats library with a proper one."

Then
#/usr/share/bacula-director/update_mysql_tables

took care the error opening the database.
