Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bacula-director-pgsql

Release: hardy 
Version: 2.2.8-5ubuntu7

The postinst script of bacula-director-pgsql package create the bacula
postgresql catalog in UTF8.

Bacula doesn't work with a postgresql DB using UFT8 encoding. If users
try to backup non-UTF8 files (ISO8859 for example) then postgresql will
refuse to insert filename into the database.

This issue is documented on bacula documentation
http://www.bacula.org/en/rel-manual/Installi_Configur_PostgreS.html#SECTION005220000000000000000

To correct this, the package have to dump/drop/create/restore the bacula
database.

According to the bacula-director-pgsql.postinst script, the bacula user
is allowed to create database. This is not mandatory, and should be
avoided.
