Package: tomcat6 Version: 6.0.24-2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Hi, After todays upgrade to v6.0.24-2 due to migration to 'testing' the tomcat6 service doesn't start anymore. I've tried a fresh install and there is no difference. I see that 'jscv' is no longer used and 'authbind' is disabled by default, thus 'catalina.sh' upstream script is used instead. I believe this is a major regression since 'jsvc' is the only alternative for running a java-baser program as a service. The upstream 'catalina.sh' shell script doesn't make use of 'jsvc' because it is not available on all platforms, this script is meant to be portable on all Linux/ UNIX hosts. Another issue is that the execution of 'catalina.sh' should also be redirected to STDOUT/STDERR to avoid these informative lines: | Starting Tomcat servlet engine: tomcat6Using CATALINA_BASE: /var/lib/tomcat6 | Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/tomcat6 | Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /tmp/tomcat6-tmp | Using JRE_HOME: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk | Using CLASSPATH: /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/bootstrap.jar | failed! | invoke-rc.d: initscript tomcat6, action "start" failed.
