Confirmed, I'm experiencing same problem. It dies when the postinst script tries invoke-rc.d tomcat5 start.
Trying this manually gives the same error but doing /etc/init.d/tomcat5 start works.... ** Changed in: tomcat5 (Ubuntu) Status: Unconfirmed => Confirmed -- [apport] package update-manager failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: SystemError in cache.commit(): E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105837 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
