Bug description:
== Begin SRU Template ==
[Impact]
* On upgrade of tomcat7 package, if a user has updated their JAVA_OPTS
variable to include a '%' an upgrade will fail. The sed command in the postinst
uses the '%' character to act as a delimiter, previous versions used '/'
however it was updated to '%' in hopes it was far less common.
* This SRU updates it to a character that should not be found in the
JAVA_ARGS value, namely '\001'.
* This is the same solution Debian and tomcat maintainers are now using for
Tomcat8.
[Test Case]
Install the version from the trusty pocket. Modify JAVA_OPTS and then
install the version from security/updates to reproduce the issue.
* lxc launch ubuntu-daily:trusty terusty
* lxc exec trusty bash
* apt install tomcat7=7.0.52-1
* Edit /etc/defaults/tomcat7, set JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true
-XX:ErrorFile=/var/log/tomcat7/java_error%p.log -XX:+DisableExplicitGC
-XX:+UseG1GC"
* Enable proposed or use version from ppa (ppa:powersj/tomcat7-1666570)
* apt update
* apt install tomcat7
* Keep the local version currently installed
* With the fix, install will complete
* Without the fix, post-installation script will return a sed -e expression
#1 error.
[Regression Potential]
* Using a new delimiter that is far less likely to be in someone's path.
This is not the first time the delimiter has changed, as it originally as '/'
which is obviously going to show up as soon as someone adds a path.
* Upstream change to tomcat8:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-java/tomcat8.git/patch/?id=7664221d66701e2c31a31fe3b4f22e8bea4158dc
[Other Info]
* Error message on failure:
Setting up tomcat7 (7.0.52-1ubuntu0.10) ...
sed: -e expression #1, char 97: unknown option to `s'
dpkg: error processing package tomcat7 (--configure):
