The reason is this: Debian, which Ubuntu most probably borrows these packages from, has a distro-specific framework to carry out database reconfigurations in a centralized manner, so that you have uniform experience when it comes to database management no matter which software you're dealing with and which database backend you have decided to use for it. This does also apply to package upgrades which often require upgrading database schemas. So, back to the question: to recreate the database just run # dpkg-reconfigure -plow bacula-director-mysql and follow the questions it asks. You can also drop the database by hand using something like # echo 'drop database bacula' \ | mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf Then you'll be able to create it by reconfiguring the bacula-director-mysql package as described above. [...] Unfortunately, I've no idea regarding your problem with Webmin. Probably you would be better off contacting Webmin team as I see there's no Webmin officially packaged for Debian (and no package in Ubuntu archives as well) so hence it's, strictly speaking, not a bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ vRanger cuts backup time in half-while increasing security.
