** Changed in: bacula (Ubuntu Precise)
     Assignee: (unassigned) => James Page (james-page)

** Changed in: bacula (Ubuntu Oneiric)
     Assignee: (unassigned) => James Page (james-page)

** Changed in: bacula (Ubuntu Oneiric)
       Status: Confirmed => In Progress

** Changed in: bacula (Ubuntu Precise)
       Status: Confirmed => In Progress

** Description changed:

- I installed a brand new ubuntu 12.04 server, did update and dist-
- upgrade.
+ [IMPACT]
+ Bacula is not installable using the 'bacula' metapackage by itself.
+ 
+ [TEST CASE]
+ sudo apt-get install bacula -> bacula : Depends: bacula-server but it is not going to be installed
+ 
+ [REGRESSION POTENTIAL]
+ Minimal - the fix is only in the package control file and ensures that the bacula-sd-mysql package is preferred over any other Provider of bacula-sd-tools.
+ 
+ [ORIGINAL BUG REPORT]
+ I installed a brand new ubuntu 12.04 server, did update and dist-upgrade.
  
  Now when I try and install bacula, I get the below message.
