Dear José

The following are the complete (if I record everythin correctly ...)
record of what I tried to install bacula-1.34.5 from your debian packages.

I do not have in depth knowledge of debian packaging, so I cannot
give you my patch, sorry. Only I could do was to correct some script and
add files that seemed to be erroneously omitted.

The most hard thing of all process was to install bacula-director-pgsql.
I had to edit many things and some of them are not recorded in detail.
But I could at last succeeded installing whole packages.
Maybe, you can get some ideas on how to fix your packages.

I wish this could be a little help to you and others using PostgreSQL.

       ---------------

       Please, enter the password which Bacula will use to connect to 
PostgreSQL.      PostgreSQL password:  *******

       I have detected that the tables needed for Bacula's Catalog are 
missing
       (this is probably a fresh install).
       Shall I create them now? yes

       A PgSQL 'admin' username & password will be required.
       Create tables for Bacula's Catalog? yes

       Shall I remove the Catalog from the PostgreSQL server at package 
purge
       time?
       This will free all the used space.

       Warning: This is not undoable. Once you remove the catalog, you 
won't be
       able to restore your backups unless you have another copy of the 
catalog
       at hand.

       Remove Catalog on purge? yes

       Checking DB connectivity...Ok.
       Creating Catalog "bacula" at 'localhost'... CREATE DATABASE
       Ok.
       Creating tables ...
       ERROR: Table creation failed!

   3) Repackaging bacula-director-pgsql_1.34.5-1_i386.deb

        i) Copy several DB, Table related scripts from source package
	  bacula-1.34.5 to $PACKAGE/usr/share/bacula-director

	  create_postgresql_database
	  drop_postgresql_database
	  drop_postgresql_tables
	  grant_postgresql_privileges
	  update_postgresql_tables

       ii) Edit DEBIAN/postinst  (line 143)

	  chown bacula:root $AUTFILE  -> $AUTHFILE   (mistyping)

      iii) Rename make_pgsql_tables in $PACKAGE/usr/share/bacula-director
	  to make_postgresql_table

       iv) Remove bscan related files

	  rm $PACKAGE/usr/sbin/bscan
	  rm $PACKAGE/usr/share/man/man8/bscan.8.gz

      # dpkg -i bacula-director-pgsql_1.34.5-1_i386.deb

  4) Copy $SOURCE/examples/conf/bacula-dir.conf to
