Package: tomcat7 Version: 7.0.56-3+really7.0.91-1 Severity: important /etc/cron.daily/tomcat7 compresses logfiles that are still “live” and just happen to not have been written to for a day. The next write to the still-opened logfile will go to nirvana, and furthermore, the second run fails usually as a tomcat restart will recreate the uncompressed logfile, and compressing that fails with the cause that the file with the .gz extension already exists.
