Hello,
I would like to fix Debian bug #947844 in Buster which was introduced
by upgrading tomcat8 to version 8.5.50-0+deb9u1 in Stretch. When upgrading
libservlet3.1-java from Stretch to Buster, the upgrade will fail due
to an insufficient Breaks and Replaces relation in src:el-api. The
solution is to use << 9 for libservlet3.1-java. It will always be
correct for the remaining release cycle in Stretch because we will
never introduce tomcat9. I have tested the change and can confirm that
the upgrade works flawlessly now.
Please find attached the debdiff.
Regards,
Markus
