Hello,

Disclaimer: I don't have anything to do with LTS (other than I develop on a
Ubuntu system), so I cannot resolve the Ubuntu problem.

However, I suggest you download the source, either from the Ubuntu
source or from Source Forge and look in the updatedb directory. It has
all the scripts you need to go from one version to the next. Note, there
may be more than one script that needs to be applied depending on what
Bacula versions involved. In your case, I imagine you must apply the
10_to_11 script, and then the 11_to_12 script, so that the database
will be upgraded from version 10 to 11 then from 11 to 12. The text in
the script
tells you what Bacula versions the upgrade corresponds to.

Best regards,
Kern
