Looking at the version of the tomcat6 package in 10.04, there are several other instances where the user is hard-coded to tomcat6, e.g. in the creation of the tomcat6 user itself, and the set-up of authbind. This therefore requires more than just respecting dpkg-statoverride. I think it would need the ability to configure a user that tomcat should run as using debconf-set-selections so this could be set before installing the package.
The default version of /etc/default/tomcat6 installed by the tomcat6 package contains this as its first line: # Run Tomcat as this user ID. Not setting this or leaving it blank will use the # default of tomcat6. #TOMCAT6_USER=tomcat6 Given the current broken state of the tomcat6 package, this line is at best extremely misleading. -- tomcat6 package should respect dpkg-statoverride (support running as a different user) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557300 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
