Bug Description
Binary package hint: bacula
Bacula has changed its network protocol from 2.4 to 5.0. This means that a client upgrading to Lucid breaks if the backup server still runs 2.4. Since upgrading the server simultaneously usually isn't an option (in my case it doesn't even run Ubuntu or any Debian derivate), there should be a compatible bacula-client package available (called bacula-client-2, perhaps) in Ubuntu for quite some time.
Maybe there should be a corresponding bacula-server-2 package for the reverse case too, but that might not be really necessary since the Bacula developers claim that a 5.0 server can use a 2.4 fd client.
Workaround: Pull in bacula-client and its dependencies from Karmic.
