So your package system is in an unclear state, as is the rest of the
system. No wonder you get strange errors.
Yes, bacula-director needs network.target to start, so also no wonder it
will not start when you go off the path and mask the networking units.
My advise here is to stop trying to get Bacula (or any other package for
that matter) to work and first straighten out the rest of the system.
Chances are, by going directly from Jessie to Buster and skipping
Stretch, an upgrade path that is not in any way supported or even
tested, you hosed your whole system.
If you can: Just backup your data and reinstall.
If you can't: boy, will that be an experience for you sorting that out.
But at the end of it, you will know more about the internals of a Debian
system than you ever wanted to know ;)
