Per the official Bacula documentation, the Bacula Director daemon requires the database to be running in order to work properly. If /etc/conf.d/bacula-dir specifies a local database should be used, the depend() section of /etc/init.d/bacula-dir conditionally specifies the database daemon set in the USE flags. The file bacula-dir.initd contains the placeholder %database% on line 9 in the depend() section, and the ebuild uses a case select statement starting on line 308 to replace this placeholder with the value of $mydbtype so as to set the proper database dependency upon install. The case select statement starting on line 308 of the ebuild is the very first reference to $mydbtype, causing it to be blank. The case statement beginning on line 308 of the ebuild then copies that blank value in the depend() section of the init.d script. Also, in the pkg_postinst() section of the ebuild, the einfo statements starting on line 344 use this variable to notify the user he must run the upstream supplied scripts to initialize the database selected in the USE flags. As $mydbtype is blank, invalid script names are given. /etc/init.d/bacula-dir can be manually edited to correctly specify a dependency on a database daemon, and a listing of the path supplied for the database setup scripts shows the correct names. However, manual edits of the init.d script are at risk of getting stomped on during a re-install or upgrade, and helpful messages at the end of an ebuild are more helpful if they're accurate.

Created attachment 318038 [details, diff] Patch to give a value to $mydbtype in the ebuild I added some if statements to the ebuild and reinstalled. The ebuild now behaves as I expected.
Which version of bacula are you talking about?
This would be 5.2.5. However, given the diff between bacula-5.2.5.ebuild and bacula-5.2.6.ebuild (or bacula-5.2.9.ebuild) files is just the changes on line 3 and 21 for the # $Header and KEYWORDS sections, this behavior should appear in 5.2.6 and 5.2.9 as well. I checked the diff between bacula-5.2.5.ebuild and bacula 5.0.3-r3.ebuild, and there's code to set $mydbtype in the 5.0.3-r3 ebuild.

Right. I am just working on the problem and found the same versions affected. The problem comes from the new handling of the case of multiple database USE flags by REQUIRED_USE. Thanks for pointing it out - will be fixed in next hour.
