I changed the version number in just the one MANIFEST file and the application started without an issue. Is this bug enough to release a new update or should I prepare to patch our other servers manually? EmTeedee

I think the issue is the version in the OSGi metadata of the MANIFEST.MF file, not the version of the package. This is something we can probably fix. Emmanuel Bourg
Bug#902670: tomcat7: version number causes exception in osgi startup
Hi, The application we are using uses Eclipse Equinox, which is an OSGI framework. It is not trying to parse the debian version number, it is trying to parse the version of exported OSGI packages. This is used to resolve dependencies and is a core feature of OSGI. It looks like the offending version number comes from the Export-Package[1] attribute in /usr/share/tomcat7/lib/tomcat-jdbc.jar:/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF In the stable package (7.0.56-3+deb8u11), the version reads "7.0.56" In the security update (7.0.56-3+really7.0.88-1) it reads "7.0.56-3+really7.0.88" This simply isn't a valid version specification, see e.g. http://www.eclipse.org/virgo/documentation/virgo-documentation-3.7.0.M01/docs/virgo-user-guide/html/ch02s02.html#d0e341 The stable package must have set this version number independently. If this is actually 7.0.88, I suggest that that should be put in there. EmTeedee [1]: the complete attribute looks like this: Export-Package: org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.naming;uses:="javax.naming,org. apache.juli.logging,javax.naming.spi";version="7.0.56",org.apache.tom cat.jdbc.pool;uses:="org.apache.juli.logging,javax.sql,org.apache.tom cat.jdbc.pool.jmx,javax.management,javax.naming,javax.naming.spi,org. apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.interceptor";version="7.0.56",org.apache.tomc at.jdbc.pool.interceptor;uses:="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool,org.apach e.juli.logging,javax.management.openmbean,javax.management";version=" 7.0.56",org.apache.tomcat.jdbc.pool.jmx;uses:="org.apache.tomcat.jdbc .pool,org.apache.juli.logging,javax.management";version="7.0.56"

I don't think we can fix the version of tomcat7 without making it impossible to upgrade from Jessie to Stretch. Why do you parse the version string of Debian's Tomcat7 package? I believe this should be fixed at the application level. Regards, Markus signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
