Well, this machine has been running Ubuntu and bacula for quite some time, so I can't be really sure that I'm not missing something.

I can tell you that I deinstalled bacula-director-mysql bacula-director-common bacula-fd bacula-sd bacula-sd-mysql and removed the init scripts. Dunno why these were not deinstalled. They are considered part of the configuration, and I did not use --purge.

Then, I installed those packages again and rebooted. No bacula process was started, but I must admit that bacula-sd and bacula-fd had no chance of being started because the installation did not install the start scripts. Probably again because I did not use --purge when I removed the packages.

I'm sorry that I don't have the time to experiment some more. And I don't want to lose my bacula configuration.

I just realized that because the init scripts are part of the configuration, they will probably not be replaced by an upgrade, so I'm still running init scripts from Intrepid or even earlier.

Init scripts are part of the package configuration. Symlinks in rc*/
should be removed on package removal, however init scripts should be
only remove on purge.

Since you've manually deleted the init script after package removal, a
reinstall won't setup the rc*/ symlink again.

To fix the issue you need to manually reinstall the init script
(extracting from the package) and reinstall the bacula packages.

Marking Invalid as this is a user error.
