Hi,

what Ubuntu release are you using?
Did you run "sudo apt update" before trying to install it?

Oops, while writing I notice "Ubuntu 2204" in the subject, so forget my
previous questions.

It seems to be not provided for future releases yet. At the moment the
official repositories only provide bacula-doc for those future releases:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/jammy-jellyfish-release-schedule/23906
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=jammy&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=bacula
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=kinetic&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=bacula

I don't know if other bacula related packages were available and are
temporarily removed for future releases.

It's seemingly available for all Ubuntu releases that get standard
support and that are already released:

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=bionic&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=bacula-fd
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=focal&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=bacula-fd
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=impish&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=bacula-fd

And even for the end of life 16.04 the package is seemingly available:

"Extended Security Maintenance for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is available from
April 2021 until 2026." - https://ubuntu.com/security/esm
