Okay I see. Mistyping a package on apt throws the exact same error(E: Unable to
locate package ...). Since I didn't find a package that's exactly named
"bacula-postgresql"(the most similiar are "bacula-common-pgsql" and
"bacula-director-pgsql", as mentioned) I thought it's a typing error
problem(that's usually the problem I have).
Okay I'm happy to hear that you managed it! But can it be that the command that
got you running is "apt update"? "apt update" and "apt upgrade" look very
similiar but do two different things, that are often used together.
I try to explain:
"apt update" updates the package-source list, to get the latest packages that
are available in the repositories
"apt upgrade" takes the previously mentioned list and compares your installed
packages against this list. If there are packages with a higher version number
it asks you if you want to install the new packages.
I don't know how exactly they work("apt update" also displays upgradable
packages and should therefore do some comparing too) but I think we can go with
"apt update" gets the list, and "apt upgrade" the packages.
You can use them together in the following command, to keep your system up to
date:
"apt update && apt upgrade" Or only "apt update" to get the list and with
"apt install packagename" the latest version of a given package.
If you have trouble with Linux and wrapping your head around it I can suggest
the book "Linux Bible" by Christopher Negus ISBN-13:978-1119578888. Quite
offensive name but good book. No problem. I got help too and now I'm trying
to give something back. Best wishes Sebastian
