I feel like such an idiot, I made sure to check before putting noise on the
list. The package installed without a hitch. The last time, there were a few
libraries out of date.

I would try to avoid building on the ESX host at all possible, hence the

to learn how to package Bacula in any case seeing how binaries won't be
released for the next version.

Don't miss this year's exciting event. There's still time to save $100.
Use priority code J8TL2D2.
