Source: tomcat9 Version: 9.0.70-2 Severity: normal Hi,
in #926338 the home directory for the tomcat user has been set (from /) to /var/lib/tomcat, however this directory is not created during install. As the home directory is indeed needed in some cases as described in #926338, it would be nice to have it automatically created. Having a non-existant home directory, still leaves a non-working setup these cases after installation and is least slightly confusing. Best wishes Matthias P.S.: There is also a bug report for Ubuntu mentioning the missing home directory as well as the missing write permissions to that directory in the unt file: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat9/+bug/2000593 -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.0 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-10-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_USER, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
