This is essentially the same problem as your other bug 1702623.
I highly appreciate that you filed them separately as this is not always the case, but in this one I'll dup the two bugs together.

[Christian Ehrhardt  (paelzer)]

The root cause as it appear to me is that you have out-of-archive packages that conflict with the one in the archive.

The packages bacula-enterprise-* are not maintained/provided by Ubuntu.
Wherever they are from they conflict with the local versions.

I assume you have the packages of the enterprise edition and they way they packaged that up makes them mutually exclusive.
They should add a conflicts with the in-archive packages for that - or provide versions with a different epoch above the ones from Ubuntu.

There is not a lot Ubuntu can do about that, you might file a bug with bacula enterprise if you want. Feel free to link and document that here but from a community perspective this is "incomplete" unless you provide further info explaining why this is a distribution bug.
