PACKAGE: tomcat5.5 Severity: important When installing tomcat5.5 together with openjdk-6-jre, on the one hand, the openjdk seems to fulfill tomcat's dependencies quite well.
On the other hand, the tomcat5.5 install/init.d scripts do not search the openjdk path for a valid jdk, and so tomcat cannot be started, and so the postinst script fails and tomcat is cannot be correctly installed, dpkg fails. A workaround for users hit by this is to set JAVA_HOME in /etc/defaults/tomcat5.5 to the openjdk-6-jre location, namely to the value "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk", and run apt-get install -f after that. A solution for the package is to add the openjdk path to the search list, see the included diff for /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 --- /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5-orig 2008-08-15 03:51:56.000000000 +0200 +++ /etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 2008-08-15 03:53:17.000000000 +0200 @@ -48,7 +48,7 @@ # The first existing directory is used for JAVA_HOME (if JAVA_HOME is not # defined in $DEFAULT) -JDK_DIRS="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-ibm /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-blackdown /usr/lib/j2se/1.4 /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-ibm /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3-blackdown /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj /usr/lib/kaffe" +JDK_DIRS="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-ibm /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-blackdown /usr/lib/j2se/1.4 /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-ibm /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3-blackdown /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj /usr/lib/kaffe" # Look for the right JVM to use for jdir in $JDK_DIRS; do Setting severity to important as it's a minimal change, but makes it hard to use apache with the real gpl and up to date java implementation available in Lenny. -- Henning Sprang http://www.sprang.de | http://lazyb0y.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
