Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: tomcat6
Dear Colleagues,
during security update of tomcat6 on maverick (and the same will happen
everywhere), when you have a JAVA_OPTS line with something like that
JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx128m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-Dpath.foo=/etc/foo/monitoring.properties"
the sed call of :
tmpfile=`mktemp /tmp/tomcat6.XXXXXXXXXX`
chmod 644 $tmpfile
cat $TEMPLATE \
| sed "s/^TOMCAT6_USER=.*$/TOMCAT6_USER=$TOMCAT6_USER/" \
| sed "s/^TOMCAT6_GROUP=.*$/TOMCAT6_GROUP=$TOMCAT6_GROUP/" \
| sed "s/^JAVA_OPTS=.*$/JAVA_OPTS=\"$JAVA_OPTS\"/" \
>> $tmpfile
will fail because of the slashes.
Those slashes are not escaped properly.
Adding a line with:
db_get tomcat6/javaopts && JAVA_OPTS="$RET" ||
JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx128m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC"
JAVA_OPTS=`echo $JAVA_OPTS|sed -e 's#\/#\\\/#g'`
helps here.
Please find attached the patched maverick tomcat6 src package with postinst
fixed.
It needs to be done for lucid and natty and other releases too.
Regards,
\sh
