Error is: Setting up tomcat6 (6.0.24-2ubuntu1.5) ... chmod: cannot access `/etc/tomcat6/tomcat-users.xml': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing tomcat6 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
You apparently removed manually the /etc/tomcat6 directory contents. If you want to purge configuration files, you should use "apt-get purge" instead, otherwise you break dpkg handling of conffiles. Run: sudo apt-get purge tomcat6 Then you should be able to reinstall tomcat6 without errors. ** Changed in: tomcat6 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/700999 Title: package tomcat6 (not installed) failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
