Wilhelm, No problem thanks for the response. Just an FYI, I used "apt-get install tomcat4" and it appears to be working. I will let you know how it goes.

Hmmm... Okay, it looks like they've changed the name of the java dependency. java-virtual-machine-dummy provides java-virtual-machine, but tomcat depends on java2-runtime (among other choices). and an apt-cache search for java2-runtime reveals nothing, so I don't know what is up with that. You could force apt to install tomcat despite the dependencies, but I don't recommend that, as apt will try to deinstall it every chance it gets (it's very vindictive that way). The "correct" thing would be to make your own dummy package that provides java2-runtime, but I don't know enough about making debian packages to say how difficult that would be. (I suspect it might not be that tough if only I took the time to read the documentation) Well, at least *you* answered one question for *me*, I've been running a manual install of tomcat, and wondering if I shouldn't use the packaged one, but based on this I think I'll stick with my manual install :) Sorry I couldn't be of more help. -wilhelm At 10:14 AM -0700 8/19/02, deFreese, Barry wrote: >Wilhem, > >Thanks for the reply.
