thanks for the link.

I need to build bacula on amd64. I'm not very familiar with building
packages from source. In the end I was successfull, but I'm not sure
if it was the correct way to do it ;)

Building the traymon was the problem. I'm not sure what I did to avoid
the problem, I found this note in the diff file.

- Don't build traymon because it would require gtk 2.10, thanks to waldi for
noticing it.


I would be interested what I have to do to exclude the traymon in the
right way. Besides this I just took the Build-Depends from the
backports bacula 2.4.2 dsc file.

If you could give me a hint how to build bacula from source I would
build my own backport packages.
