CentOS itself does indeed offer a trimmed-down bacula-client
package that does not pull in anything unnecessary, but it's
quite old. (2.4.4 for CentOS5) I guess the OP is trying to use
the CentOS packages from

[epel-bacula]
name=Bacula backports from rawhide
baseurl=http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula/epel-$releasever/$basearch/

recently advertised on this list. When I tried those I was quite annoyed
to find that their bacula-client package "requires" a
package called bacula-libs which in turn requires both
libmysqlclient_r.so.15 and libpq.so.4; so it actually pulls in
both the mysql and postgresql-libs packages for no good reason.
(As well as perl-DBI and lzo for good measure.)
I guess that's some sort of collateral damage of their hack to
distribute all possible database backends as shared libraries
to be switched via the alternatives mechanism.

Yes, I fleetingly thought it might be better to build the client
myself, but I was too lazy and ended up accepting the superfluous
library packages.
