I got this issue during an upgrade but it was actually caused by a ghost of tomcat still running (so the start was failing because the ports were already in use). No idea how the service got lost.
so if you have this error: * make sure you called "/etc/init.d/tomcat8 stop" * check with "ps aux | grep java" if you still have a running Tomcat * if that's the case kill it -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1586054 Title: package tomcat8 8.0.32-1ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat8/+bug/1586054/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
