Subject: tomcat8: Failed tomcat8 upgrade with exit status 128
Package: tomcat8
Version: 8.0.14-1+deb8u6
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Attempted to upgrade tomcat8 from 8.0.14-1+deb8u5 to 8.0.14-1+deb8u6


   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade resulted in the output:

--- cut here ---
Setting up tomcat8 (8.0.14-1+deb8u6) ...
dpkg: error processing package tomcat8 (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 128
Errors were encountered while processing:
 tomcat8
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
--- cut here ---

`apt-get remove tomcat8 ; apt-get clean ; apt-get install tomcat8` and multiple
invocations of `apt-get -f install` have provided the same results.

I've tracked the source of the error code 128 as far as line 92 of
/usr/share/debconf/frontend, indicating that the 128 is generated within
$confmodule, but I'm not familiar enough with the internals of Debian package
management to trace it any further than that at this time.


   * What was the outcome of this action?

Incomplete package upgrade.  Error messages as given above.

As you can see below, the tomcat8-admin, tomcat8-common, and libtomcat8-java
packages all upgraded successfully to 8.0.14-1+deb8u6. It is only the 'bare'
tomcat8 package with the startup scripts which failed.


   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Successful upgrade of the package.
