I had the same issue. I'm pretty sure it's only due to bacula-mysql- director expecting mysql to be running. At the time it tried to connect during the install process(Bacula intalled mysql as a dependancy, i had not already had it installed on that machine), the mysql server was not functional. The following are the packages that were installed from using 'aptitude install bacula':
The following NEW packages will be installed: bacula bacula-client{a} bacula-common{a} bacula-console{a} bacula-director-common{a} bacula-director-mysql{a} bacula-fd{a} bacula-sd{a} bacula-sd-mysql{a} bacula-server{a} bsd-mailx{a} dbconfig-common{a} libdbd-mysql-perl{a} libdbi-perl{a} libhtml-template-perl{a} libmysqlclient15off{a} libnet-daemon-perl{a} libplrpc-perl{a} mailx{a} mtx{a} mysql-client{a} mysql-client-5.0{a} mysql-common{a} mysql-server{a} mysql-server-5.0{a} mysql-server-core-5.0{a} postfix{a} 0 packages upgraded, 27 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Bet anything if I had installed mysql first manually, THEN tried to install bacula I wouldn't have even noticed this problem. -- package bacula-director-mysql 2.4.4-1ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/404768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to bacula in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
