Hi Arnaud,
this is odd.
In a new Bionic system permossions are ok:
root@b:~# apt install tomcat8 tomcat8-admin
root@b:~# ll /var/lib/tomcat8/conf/Catalina/
total 3
drwxrwxr-x 3 root tomcat8 3 Feb 26 14:16 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 11 Feb 26 14:16 ../
drwxr-xr-x 2 root tomcat8 4 Feb 26 14:16 localhost/
Similar in Focal:
root@f:~# ll /var/lib/tomcat9/conf/Catalina/
total 3
drwxrwxr-x 3 root tomcat 3 Feb 26 14:17 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 11 Feb 26 14:17 ../
drwxr-xr-x 2 root tomcat 4 Feb 26 14:17 localhost/
While on xenial:
root@x:~# ll /var/lib/tomcat8/conf/Catalina/
total 3
drwxrwxr-x 3 root tomcat8 3 Feb 26 14:19 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 10 Feb 26 14:19 ../
drwxrwxr-x 2 root tomcat8 4 Feb 26 14:19 localhost/
So yes the write permission for the tomcat[8] group was removed.
One has to look deeper into "why" and if this is a change that can be reverted.
Marking the bug for deeper checks later on ...
** Changed in: tomcat8 (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
