The subfiles are installed via: debian/tomcat8-admin.install:1:debian/context/manager.xml /etc/tomcat8/Catalina/localhost/ debian/tomcat8-admin.install:2:debian/context/host-manager.xml /etc/tomcat8/Catalina/localhost/
But already when installing tomcat8 the path exists: $ ll /var/lib/tomcat8/conf/Catalina/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root tomcat8 2 Sep 9 19:47 localhost/ We are looking at 8.0.32-1ubuntu1.11 .. 8.5.39-1ubuntu1~18.04.3 to compare. Downgrading Bionic to the release version of tomcat8=8.5.30-1ubuntu1 already has the new permissions. The path isn't owned by a package # dpkg -S /var/lib/tomcat8/conf/Catalina/ dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /var/lib/tomcat8/conf/Catalina/ => so it must be postinst or first service start which creates it. Uuuh, that is even more interesting. Stop, remove, restart fixes the permission to what it had in the past: root@b:~# systemctl stop tomcat8 root@b:~# ll /var/lib/tomcat8/conf/Catalina/ total 3 drwxrwxr-x 3 root tomcat8 3 Feb 27 07:40 ./ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 11 Feb 27 07:40 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 root tomcat8 2 Sep 9 19:47 localhost/ root@b:~# rm -rf /var/lib/tomcat8/conf/Catalina/localhost root@b:~# systemctl start tomcat8 root@b:~# ll /var/lib/tomcat8/conf/Catalina/ total 3 drwxrwxr-x 3 root tomcat8 3 Feb 27 07:41 ./ drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 11 Feb 27 07:40 ../ drwxr-x--- 2 tomcat8 tomcat8 2 Feb 27 07:41 localhost -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1820288 Title: Tomcat Web Application Manager does not copy context configuration To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat8/+bug/1820288/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
