Yes, as I noted, this is very likely possible because I pull in a *lot* of shared libraries. To know if it *really* works, you would need to test it in an actual recovery situation and run the FD in rescue mode. If it really works, then we could modify the scripts to explicitly test the Bacula binary and ensure that all the appropriate shared libraries are included on the rescue disk as is done for all the other binaries on the disk.
