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.
