Re: [Bacula-users] database name is blank?

[Jan M. <fy...@gm...>]

Hello,

Thanks for your quick response.  Your answer, and the fact that there 
were no issues with the Catalog resource or multiple bacula-dir.conf 
files suggested some other error, and it turned out when I manually 
tried to run bacula-dir, it flagged a different error in the 
configuration file, which I then corrected, and all was well.

So, sorry for sending what turned out to be a red herring.  I don't know 
why I didn't get that message about the config error in the bacula log, 
but maybe it got sent somewhere else - I haven't been able to find it yet.

I will also gently suggest to the linux mint bacula package maintainer 
that we upgrade to 5.2.13, as you suggest, and ask about 7.0.5.

Thanks again for your help.

-Jan Martin
