I did get it to install after manually installling libtomcat6-java, but To reproduce: ubuntu 14.04 LTS
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install red5-server "red5-server: Depends: libtomcat6-java (>= 6.0.20-7) but it is not going to be installed" then: sudo apt-get install libtomcat6-java This successfully brings in all dependencies for libtomcat6-java and installs.
