[Bug 579924] [NEW] Upgrading Ubuntu LTS skips database version - Fatal error: Version error for database "bacula". Wanted 12, got 10

[Kern Sibbald]

It appears that the upgrade process attempted to upgrade two versions of the 
database at one time.  Bacula only supports upgrading one version at a time, 
so from database version 10, you must first apply the scripts that do the 
upgrade to version 11, and then apply the upgrade scripts that upgrade from 
version 11 to version 12.

All the scripts for an upgrade from the prior version to the version of the 
current release are found in <bacula>/src/cats ...

All scripts for making an upgrade from an old version to a newer version (e.g. 
8 to 9 or 10 to 11) are kept in <bacula>/updatedb.  These scripts may need 
some manual editing to get the install locations to match where your database 
is installed.
