Dear Alex, Many thanks for your answer and great help. I tried the second variant (getting bacula 2.4 from the sources of lenny) and saw that there are all these dependencies:
pkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libjconv-dev libsqlite0-dev libsqlite3-dev libmysqlclient15-dev libpq-dev postgresql-server-dev-8.3 | postgresql-server-dev-8.2 libwrap0-dev python-dev libgtk2.0-dev (>= 2.10) libgnome2-dev libwxgtk2.6-dev libacl1-dev libkrb5-dev libgnomeui-dev libx11-dev mtx bc libxt-dev libqt4-dev libqwt5-qt4-dev Do you know what is the procedure for all the dependencies? Do I need for all of these to do a "apt-get source oldpackage=oldversion" and build them using debuild?

Anyway one day you'll need to upgrade to squeeze . Regards , Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
