I don't remember exactly which version of sqlite it used.
(Perharps it depend of the lib's version present on the os : you didn't specify 
it)

For sure I would made a copy & a dump (bacula-catalog is your friends) in case 
of.

After I would make a complete backup of /etc/bacula config's files.

And I would remove all 1.38 related files. This depend of how your version was 
installed
rpm, sources, deb etc...

And make the new installation.

After in your config file double/triple check every path (there's some change 
between /etc/bacula and /usr/lib/bacula)
for the script. Adjust what is needed, and for sure, re-read the manual for the 
new version.

test configs for each daemon with the -t

make tests.
