Ok, I have just did this on some test server (centos 6.6 x86_64)...

Before you go through the same steps I did, I would strongly suggest
that you:
1. uninstall all the bacula packages (copy your bacula configuration
   somewhere just in case
2. remove your current bacula repo file from /etc/yum.repos.d
3. yum clean all

Then continue with this steps:

wget "https://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/slaanesh/bacula7/epel-bacula7.repo";

mv epel-bacula7.repo /etc/yum.repos.d

yum install bacula-director-mysql.x86_64

At that this point "bacula-dir -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf -f -d 200"
would show that we are using postgres by default and we can also check
this using this ls command:

# ls -l /usr/lib64/libbaccats.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Mar 27 23:01 /usr/lib64/libbaccats.so -> 
/etc/alternatives/libbaccats.so

# ls -l /etc/alternatives/libbaccats.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Mar 27 23:01 /etc/alternatives/libbaccats.so -> 
/usr/lib64/libbaccats-postgresql.so

Now we can proceed with the alternatives command:
alternatives --set libbaccats.so /usr/lib64/libbaccats-mysql.so

And if we check the path again we will see that the symlink has been
changed and it now pointing to mysql version of the library:

# ls -l /etc/alternatives/libbaccats.so
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Mar 27 23:13 /etc/alternatives/libbaccats.so -> 
/usr/lib64/libbaccats-mysql.so

If we check the comand "bacula-dir -c /etc/bacula/bacula-dir.conf -f -d 
200" again, it will show these lines near the end of the output:

bacula-dir: dir_plugins.c:148-0 Load dir plugins
bacula-dir: dir_plugins.c:150-0 No dir plugin dir!
bacula-dir: mysql.c:697-0 db_init_database first time
bacula-dir: mysql.c:165-0 mysql_init done

That clearly shows that bacula-dir now supports mysql.

At that point you just need to install the rest of the mysql packages
that didn't came as bacula-dir-mysql dependency:
yum install bacula-client.x86_64 bacula-console.x86_64 bacula-
storage.x86_64

And that should be it.
Now you just need to configure bacula-dir, bacula-sd, bacula-fd(s)
and bconsole. May God Have Mercy on Your Soul while you are at it. :-)
