Hello kenchan, thanks for filing this (separate) bug report and working with us to make Ubuntu better.

The relevant error message is here:

dbconfig-common: writing config to /etc/dbconfig-common/bacula-director-mysql.conf

Config error: expected a string, got T_EOL: =

  dbname = ; DB Address = ""; dbuser = ""; dbpassword = ""

   ...fail!

This happened because you did not enter any configuration value for 'dbname'. There may be db backends where that is ok (I think pgsql will put user here if it is empty), but it should surround the value in quotes like the address/user/password.

This occurs because of the way the file is generated in debian/bacula-director-mysql.postinst and could be corrected by simply wrapping the dbname in quotes. Marking this Triaged.

I'm also going to add dbconfig-common because it should never allow an empty dbname for mysql, as this is never actually a valid situation.
