There is an updated tomcat6 source package ready to for that will handle transitioning from libservlet2.4-java -> libservlet2.5-java cleanly via Replaces/Conflicts (due to both packages containing servlet-api-debian.pom).
However, for upgrades from squeeze to wheezy, I'm not sure what to do regarding libservlet2.4-java-gcj, which depends on libservlet2.4-java. Is it possible to rely on the package manager to remove libservlet2.4-java-gcj before replacing libservlet2.4-java with libservlet2.5-java? The only rdepends on libservlet2.4-java-gcj in squeeze is libaxis-java-gcj, which in turn depends on libaxis-java (which depends on libservlet2.4-java in squeeze, and 2.5-java in wheezy). So the package manager would need to temporarily uninstall libaxis-java in order to upgrade libservlet, and then upgrade libaxis, and it would have to remove both the -gcj packages. Thank you in advance for guidance on how to approach this. tony
