Hm, ok

but in my case trying to build Bacula deb-packages with the Ubuntu  
build environment (debuild) does not work out of the box because it  
fails including binary/pre-compiled qt-libs :-(
For now i have resorted to lower the required version to 4.8.1 as  
delivered by Ubuntu and hope they will "backport" important fixes.
This works fine beside some obscure document "kernstodos" which is  
listed somewhere as needed documentation but is not found  :-)
With "kernstodos" deleted in the "bacula-common.docs" list all went fine.
BTW: I see no mention of Bug#1936 so i guess a fix is not yet included??

Regards

Andreas
