Hi David, It would be nice to have both co-installable. What we'd need to do is analyze and (potentially) update the reverse depends of libtomcat6-java and libtomcat7-java to know about those new locations, which would take a fair amount of coordination. Also, please see the earlier post today regarding the plans to remove tomcat6 from the jessie release. For tomcat6: $ reverse-depends libtomcat6-java Reverse-Recommends ================== * libspring-context-java Reverse-Depends =============== * libjetty-extra-java * libjglobus-ssl-proxies-tomcat-java * libtomcat-maven-plugin-java * libtomcatjss-java [amd64 armel armhf i386 ia64 mips mipsel powerpc s390x sparc] * red5-server * tomcat6-common (of course we can ignore this) $ reverse-depends -b libtomcat6-java Reverse-Build-Depends-Indep =========================== * javahelp2 * libjboss-remoting-java * libspring-java * mule * red5 * tiles Reverse-Build-Depends ===================== * jetty * jglobus * libjamon-java * lucene-solr * mojarra * tomcatjss And for tomcat7: $ reverse-depends libtomcat7-java Reverse-Recommends ================== * libmina2-java Reverse-Depends =============== * eclipse-platform-data * libjetty8-extra-java * tomcat7-common $ reverse-depends -b libtomcat7-java Reverse-Build-Depends-Indep =========================== * mina2 Reverse-Build-Depends ===================== * eclipse * jetty8 Cheers, tony
