I purged the packages and reinstalled it. All the same effect.
Could it be something else is broken? Something in Apt or Debconf?

    * What led up to the situation?
Installing the bacula package, the database is not configured. This is with all 
3 databases.
The error seen during installation:
/var/lib/dpkg/info/bacula-director.postinst: 39: .: Can't open 
/usr/share/bacula-common/dbc_database.conf
Infact the file to which the file linked was not available 
"/etc/dbconfig-common/bacula-director-pgsql.conf"
    * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
      ineffective)?
Creating the file "/etc/dbconfig-common/bacula-director-pgsql.conf" manually did not 
solve the problem"
I am not able to reproduce this.

Please provide the exact commands you used to install bacula. You can
find all commands in /var/log/apt/term.log and /var/log/apt/history.log.

Sven.
