** Description changed:
Binary package hint: tomcat6
In cases where the tomcat6 group already exists (eg ldap), the postinst fails
due to running addgroup blindly.
Commenting out the addgroup works fine, although that isn't a generic fix.
- > addgroup --system "$TOMCAT6_GROUP" --quiet
+ > addgroup --system "$TOMCAT6_GROUP" --quiet
> if ! id $TOMCAT6_USER > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
(I had a better bug report with more detail, but the "no referrer" error
ate it. Lovely..)
+
+ == SRU Report ==
+ Impact:
+ If the tomcat6 group already exists, tomcat6 will fail to install correctly.
+
+ Development branch fix:
+ Fix is in maverick as of 6.0.28-2ubuntu1
+
+ Minimal patch:
+ - addgroup --system "$TOMCAT6_GROUP" --quiet
+ + if ! getent group "$TOMCAT6_GROUP" > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then
+ + addgroup --system "$TOMCAT6_GROUP" --quiet
+ + fi
+
+ TEST CASE:
+ $ sudo addgroup tomcat6
+ $ sudo apt-get install tomcat6
+ Affected version:
+ Tomcat fails to install (subprocess installed post-installation script
returned error exit status 1)
+ Fixed version:
+ Tomcat installs successfully.
+
+ Regression potential:
+ Given the nature of the patch, it is minimal.
** Changed in: tomcat6 (Ubuntu Lucid)
