Hello Stefan, Thanks for your response and kind words. For the perl package, it wasn't installed in your environment. We can see it in the output that you sent us from 'Raw output' tab: Get:7 https://deb.debian.org/debian trixie/main amd64 libgdbm-compat4t64 amd64 1.24-2 [50.3 kB] Get:8 https://deb.debian.org/debian trixie/main amd64 libperl5.40 amd64 5.40.1-6 [4341 kB] Get:9 https://deb.debian.org/debian trixie/main amd64 perl amd64 5.40.1-6 [267 kB] Get:10 https://deb.debian.org/debian trixie/main amd64 postgresql-client-common all 278 [47.1 kB] Get:11 https://deb.debian.org/debian trixie/main amd64 postgresql-client all 17+278 [14.0 kB] The Bacula installation process was installing it, but this is too late for this error. The perl needs to be installed before the Bacula installation process, not during or not after. Yesterday I fixed it in Bacularis to install perl before the main process: https://github.com/bacularis/bacularis-web/commit/3f9b27ab909e280f47f925c1ee897d6e87347f8d and I reported a bug report to the Debian package maintainers.
