I installed Debian 10 through synaptic. I previously had a jumbled up sources.list having accidentally moved from jessie to buster so on advice from the forum I reduced the entries to two both referring to 'buster'
Synaptic uninstalled quite a few packages, and then installed OK
except that Inetutils-syslogd failed. Later I set synaptic to
install bacula which it did except that bacula director failed as
did bacula-services.The error logs seemed to suggest that the
bacula failure was due to having no syslog facility so I got
inetutils-syslogd to load by commenting out most of the entries of
the configuration file, and after this bacula director and
ineutils-syslogd did install. Haven't yet worked out how to
replace the configuration file, although most of the log files are
working
On masking, earlier on I had had trouble starting the network, as
it seemed to start without the help of systemd, and when systemd
tried to start it it reported a failure and as a result I would
lose connectivity . So I just masked the systemd networking and
networking.service units and things worked. I guess this may be
the problem if bacula-services needs them - but I cannot live
with losing connectivity every time I reboot
I have posted this reply on https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/
so you could reply there if not direct

I have just installed bacula 9.4.2 from the debian repository into Debian 10 and am trying to get it working againThis is definitely not normal. But you provide not enough information to further pin-point the problem. I know for certain that the Bacula 9.4.2 packages in Debian Sid/Testing work out of the box, because a) I helped create them and b) I just tested a fresh install today. It would be interesting to know *exactly* what you did to end up in this situation, because a package doesn't just get masked by itself. Also since this is most likely a Debian-specific problem, it would be better to move this discussion over to https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/ to not overly annoy the Bacula community with Debian talk.
