Have you raised this issue on the bacula users mailing list?  If so,
what is the URL into the archives so we can investigate.

I'm sure that's possible, not trivial, but possible.

bacula-client is a slave port of bacula-server.  Thus, changes to
baucla-client version numbers can be gleaned from  bacula-server.

If you need the 2.x branch, get it from CVS.  You'll need both the slave
and the master.

Perhaps a 2.x port is a good idea.  A PR would be useful.  And perhaps a
repo copy.

I'd love to help, but I'm busy until the end of May.
