The message "packages have been kept back" is an apt-get message; you can find details about it with a Google search.
Basically, it means that the structure of the packages has been changed between what is installed and what you are trying to install, and apt-get is warning you that this is more than a simple 1:1 update. In this case, apparently the package "bacula" has been split into the many individual packages. apt-get wants to be sure that this really is what you mean to do. To resolve it, you need a different apt-get command; I believe it is dist-upgrade instead of upgrade, but please double-check that with sources that know more about apt.
