I'm not sure if I had the same problem. I was trying to install Bacula on Hardy, and it failed around this point:

Unpacking bacula-fd (from .../bacula-fd_2.4.2-1ubuntu4~hardy1_i386.deb) ...
Selecting previously deselected package bacula-traymonitor.
Unpacking bacula-traymonitor (from .../bacula-traymonitor_2.4.2-1ubuntu4~hardy1_i386.deb) ...
Setting up bacula-common (2.4.2-1ubuntu4~hardy1) ...
chown: invalid group: `bacula:bacula'
dpkg: error processing bacula-common (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of bacula-console:
 bacula-console depends on bacula-common (= 2.4.2-1ubuntu4~hardy1); however:
  Package bacula-common is not configured yet.

It turned out that I had a "bacula" user but no "bacula" group; after adding one, the package installed fine.

Markus, problem is:

Config error: Cannot open config file "/etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf": No such file or directory

And this looks like a duplicate of bug 308903.

A workaround for this bug is:

sudo /usr/share/bacula-director/postinst-common
sudo apt-get -f install

Presumably the first command should be run upon installation and it is not.

This is supposed to be fixed in the 2.4.4 package but my installed-two-days-ago and fully-upgraded-tonight version of Intrepid wants to install the 2.4.2 package. So...

I tried the workaround but it didn't work for me. After doing an 'aptitude search "bacula*"' I noticed that while I had done a "aptitude purge bacula" there were a couple of "bacula-*" packages that still had configurations (i.e. a "c" before the package name). I manually went through and did an "aptitude purge bacula-..." for each package that still had a configuration. Once I did that I was able to do an "aptitude install bacula" and it worked fine. Whew!

I'm experiencing this in Hardy. If a fix is made it should probably be put in for Hardy too.

@Gavin could you test ubuntu-bacula's PPA?

https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bacula/+archive/ppa

At the moment, it only has hardy's 2.2.8 packages. I'll create intrepid and hardy-backports packages during the day.

I believe this bug is fixed in ubuntu-bacula PPA for interpid and hardy:

https://edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bacula/+archive/ppa

and for those that would like to have bacula packages for hardy backported from intrepid, they are at my personal PPA:

https://edge.launchpad.net/~ivoks/+archive/ppa

Please test those packages and report results. Thank you
