upgrade in this context means: "apt update && apt upgrade", so just a regular security update, not from any older distribution
/etc/init.d/tomcat7 sources /etc/default/tomcat7 (line 111-114) so TOMCAT7_SECURITY is read from their. The conffile will be created from postinst in tomcat7_7.0.68-1ubuntu0.3_all.deb If someone installs the last version from xenial-security and activate the security manager with the conffile -> he is getting a broken setup I've checked the files from the deb-File: /etc/init.d/tomcat7 creates the policy file at every start at: POLICY_CACHE="$CATALINA_BASE/policy/catalina.policy" but /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/catalina.sh is looking up in the old place ($CATALINA_BASE/work/catalina.policy) so i think there is no symlink magic necessary. Please patch /etc/init.d/tomcat7 or /usr/share/tomcat7/bin/catalina.sh so booth uses the place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1799990 Title: tomcat7 doesn't start after upgrade to 7.0.68-1ubuntu0.3 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat7/+bug/1799990/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
