One way to work around this until the package gets fixed in xenial is to escape the % sign in the JAVA_OPTS string:
JAVA_OPTS="${JAVA_OPTS} -Xloggc:/var/log/tomcat7/gc-\%t.log" This has been tested and seems to make both the postinst script work, as well as make the JVM include the timestamp in the GC log file at runtime. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1666570 Title: Post install script has error in RegEx To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat8/+bug/1666570/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
