Bug Description

I have a Ubuntu 10.4.2 server, updated to the latest binaries.

I have attempted to install bacula using apt-get install bacula. The process seems to go well until the various dialogues to set up the MySQL db connection. After entering the password, the dbconfig-common script attempts to connect to the MySQL database and fails, even after various retries.

As soon as I select 'abort', the apt proceeds to install the MySQL server. This of course explains why the dbconfig-common script fails, as it needs to be preceeded (not followed) by the MySQL server installation.

Causing MySQL server to be installed first should resolve the issue.

I omitted to identify the bacula version included in the apt package. It's 5.0.1-1ubuntu1.
