LinuxQuestions.org - Problem with apt-get upgrade

Hi,

I'm running this server config: Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, Virtualmin (free), on a VPS (Linode) with all the usual toys (e.g. Apache, MySQL).

I've had problems off and on over the past year with Bacula tripping up the server operations. I finally did a apt-get --purge remove bacula today then went into Virtualmin and used the Webmin Configuration pages to remove it from that software. In theory, it should be gone.

However, when I run apt-get upgrade I get a Bacula-related message. I would like to know either how to get rid of the message OR how to get update to skip any Bacula programs.

Here's the console output after I run apt-get upgrade:

"Reading package lists... Done

The following packages have been kept back:

Also, when I run dpkg -L bacula I get this console output:

"Package `bacula' is not installed.
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents."

Any help or ideas would be appreciated. I'm looking to learn so feel free to point up any stupid things (you know, GUI or Gross User Incompetence errors). Thank you!
