That's stretching it a bit, no?

Please explain this. If you redefine CATALINA_BASE, you need to create your own directory hierarchy in, e.g., /srv/tomcat5.5, with its own log directory. The original files in /var/lib/tomcat5.5 should not matter and can be left as they are. Upgrading the package will certainly not alter anything under /srv. I'll try for myself and see what happens... (In general, you can use dpkg-divert to move files belonging to packages so that the original files aren't touched by upgrades. But this shouldn't be necessary in this case.) Marcus
