Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tomcat5.5
I just installed tomcat5.5 from Hardy. It installed openjdk-6-jre, so
the init script failed at line 48 because openjdk-6-jre does not include
bin/jdb
As bug #179447 explains, bin/jdb is part of a -jdk vs. a -jre package,
and tomcat5.5's dependencies should ensure one is installed. It seems to
me this could be achieved by depending on "java2-sdk" instead of
"java2-runtime". I added this comment to Debian bug #458412, however I
admittedly know little about the Java packaging policy...
In the meantime, I installed openjdk-6-jdk, but the tomcat5.5 init
script still fails because line 40 does not include
"/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk":
[/etc/init.d/tomcat5.5 line 40]
JDK_DIRS="/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-ibm /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-sun
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-blackdown /usr/lib/j2se/1.4 /usr/lib/j2sdk1.4-ibm
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.3-sun /usr/lib/j2sdk1.3-blackdown /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj
/usr/lib/kaffe"
# Look for the right JVM to use
for jdir in $JDK_DIRS; do
[...]
Perhaps a more maintainable way to find the right JVM would be to:
for jdir in /usr/lib/jvm/*; do
[...]
- or perhaps JAVA_HOME=/usr would work, since /usr contains bin/java and
bin/jdb. This would keep the default JAVA_HOME consistent with
/etc/alternatives
Again, I confess to knowing little about the Java packaging policy.
Thanks for maintaining Tomcat, Jack
