I have successfully run CAS on Ubuntu Dapper and Edgy, in fact the latter is what I use daily for CAS development. That said, it appears you are using the Ubuntu Tomcat package, correct? I have two recommendations in any case. 1. If this is for a developer workstation, I recommend installing Tomcat from the Apache site into a subdirectory of your home directory, e.g. /home/marvin/apps/tomcat. This is a very convenient solution for a developer workstation because you own everything below your home directory. You don't even have to remove the Ubuntu package as you can just set your TOMCAT_HOME, CATALINA_HOME, and CATALINA_BASE envrionment variables in ~/.bash_profile such that they point at your private installation. 2. If this is for a server deployment, I would recommend creating a user account for tomcat (e.g. tomcat) and installing Tomcat inside that user's home directory as above. You would then sudo to the tomcat user to deploy and manage your applications. This is a good strategy for convenience, auditing, and security. I realize I've just given two suggestions to circumvent your problems instead of solving them, but these strategies work well for our developers and production environment.
