Do you have any idea how I can resolve this problem?

Dear Alex,
Many thanks for your answer and great help. I tried the second variant
(getting
bacula 2.4 from the sources of lenny) and saw that there are all these
dependencies:
You are welcome
pkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libjconv-dev libsqlite0-dev
libsqlite3-dev libmysqlclient15-dev libpq-dev postgresql-server-dev-8.3 |
postgresql-server-dev-8.2 libwrap0-dev python-dev libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.10)
libgnome2-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev libacl1-dev libkrb5-dev libgnomeui-dev
libx11-dev
mtx bc libxt-dev libqt4-dev libqwt5-qt4-dev
Do you know what is the procedure for all the dependencies? Do I need for all
of
these to do a "apt-get source oldpackage=oldversion" and build them using
usually higher versions are ok ( if the api of the new versions aren't
totally changed )
As you can see for some of them you should have greater than * version -
libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.10) for example .
So I would try with current versions from squeeze .
if you don't want to install all the development stuff to the server
than try pbuilder .
It will create a minimal necessary build environment , install all
dependencies , build
the package , and clean up it the after all .
But you should mention that you need to build package for squeeze and not
for sid (unstable) which is used by default.
debuild?

Dear Debian users,
I would like to know if it is possible to use a Debian lenny package on a
Debian
squeeze installation and if yes how (what apt-get commands and/or
modifications
in sources.list)?
Let me explain why: I am using Bacula to do backups on a Debian lenny box and
upgraded one server being backed up to Debian squeeze. Since then the backups
are not running because Debian squeeze uses Bacula version 5.0 and the backup
server (lenny) uses Bacula version 2.4. It is know that these two versions
are
not compatible together anymore (rejected hello command error).
So I was wondering if it is somehow possible to install the Debian lenny
versions of bacula-common and bacula-fd packages on Debian squeeze...?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

one way is to specify in /etc/apt/sources.list lenny repository
and try to install from it
like apt-get install bacula-fd -t lenny , but in case of bacula
which has many dependencies that probably will not work
another way ( I prefer that one ) is to get the sources for the old
bacula-*
and compile them on squeeze
you also need to define
deb-src pointing to the lenny repository
like deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib
than run something like that
mkdir /tmp/bacula
cd /tmp/bacula
apt-get source bacula-fd
cd bacula-$version
debuild -us -uc
you need devscripts package or pbuilder or ..
most probably you don't have all dependencies , so you'll need to
install them .
when all dependencies are satisfied it will (or will not ) build the
package which you can
install on squeeze .
and the 3'rd case is to update your bacula-director on lenny with
bacula-director -5.0 from http://backports.debian.org .
Anyway one day you'll need to upgrade to squeeze .

Alex
