Binary package hint: bacula

Actually this is the last point of the original report of bug #207527.
I am opening this as a new bug report, since the other issues of bug #207527 appear to be fixed.

When running the BackupCatalog job, I get the following error:

06-Mai 18:27 baculatestsrv-dir JobId 17: BeforeJob: run command "/usr/bin/awk -f /etc/bacula/scripts/make_catalog_backup_awk -v cat1=MyCatalog /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf"
06-Mai 18:27 baculatestsrv-dir JobId 17: BeforeJob: mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'bacula'@'localhost' (using password: NO) when trying to connect

It seems that .my.cnf is not read, since the command is not executed in a login shell and HOME is not set.

I was able to get the backup running by specifying HOME in the mysqldump command (see attached patch).
