It happens when you install bacula without having a previously installed mysql server. The problem is that bacula-director-mysql tries its run its configuration before the new mysql server has been started.
Workarounds:
pre-install) Make sure you have a mysql installed before you install bacula
post-install) purge and reinstall the packages becula and bacula-director-mysql
I can confirm this.
