[Bug 552636] [NEW] bacula-server 5.0.1: package update should warn about required database update

[jraby]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bacula-server

While upgrading bacula-server on Lucid, the update process should warn the user about the required catalog database update.
With the 5.0.x releases, the catalog format is now version 12 (version 11 with 3.0.x).

As it is right now, the upgrade process stops bacula-director, upgrades it and then restarts it.
The startup message show no error:

 * Stopping Bacula Director...
   ...done.
Processing configuration...Ok.
 * Starting Bacula Director...
   ...done.

But at this point the director aborts, as seen in the logs:
31-Mar 11:41 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Version error for database "bacula". Wanted 12, got 11
31-Mar 11:41 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Could not open Catalog "MyCatalog", database "bacula".
31-Mar 11:41 bacula-dir JobId 0: Fatal error: Version error for database "bacula". Wanted 12, got 11
31-Mar 11:41 bacula-dir ERROR TERMINATION
Please correct configuration file: /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf

I think the upgrade process should tell the admin about the required database update with an hint to the script:
/usr/share/bacula-director/update_mysql_tables
