Package: tomcat8 Version: 8.5.14-1+deb9u2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
tomcat8 has, in its init script, a lookup over the available jvm. """ for jvmdir in /usr/lib/jvm/java-${java_version}-openjdk-* \ /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-${java_version}-oracle-* \ /usr/lib/jvm/jre-${java_version}-oracle-* """ the new make-jpkg has a different syntax, likely from version 0.61 >From >http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs/contrib/j/java-package/java-package_0.62_changelog """ * Use package name plus architecture as directory in /usr/lib/jvm """ to better understand the difference, see the following path of installation old package path (jessie) /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-8-oracle-x64/ new package path (stretch) /usr/lib/jvm/oracle-java8-jdk-amd64/ The workaround as suggested also by the init script is to set JAVA_HOME variable indefault file. A patch should be considered to properly lookup the new java package built. Nevertheless, i would suggest to lookup the alternative jdk selected, in place of JAVA_HOME. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-6-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968), LANGUAGE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages tomcat8 depends on: ii adduser 3.115 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.61 ii lsb-base 9.20161125 ii tomcat8-common 8.5.14-1+deb9u2 ii ucf 3.0036 Versions of packages tomcat8 recommends: ii authbind 2.1.2 ii libtcnative-1 1.2.12-2+deb9u1 Versions of packages tomcat8 suggests: ii tomcat8-admin 8.5.14-1+deb9u2 pn tomcat8-docs <none> pn tomcat8-examples <none> pn tomcat8-user <none> -- debconf information: tomcat8/username: tomcat8 tomcat8/groupname: tomcat8 tomcat8/javaopts: -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers>.
