Package: bacula-client Severity: minor I tried to install bacula-client, and apt told me the package likely has a bug. I am reporting it here. bacula-client requires bacula-fd. bacula-fd requires python2.3. etch provides python2.4 only. While I'm sure this is a surmountable problem (I'll probably have to install python2.3 for other reasons) it seems like a broken dependency tree for a packgae in the main repository.
