I wanted to move the bacula database from Postgresql 11 (PG11) to Postgresql 13
(PG13) in advance of an operating system upgrade from Debian 11.6 to Debian 12,
and eventual upgrades to Postgresql (version current in Debian 12).

aptitude remove bacula-common bacula-common-pgsql bacula-console
bacula-director
