** Description changed: IMPACT: This bug will impact tomcat6 installs upgrading to Maverick and updates in Maverick itself; its fixed in Natty. - Using the '/' character in JAVA_OPTS is quite common - its normally uses + Using the '/' character in JAVA_OPTS is quite common - its normally used to specify the filesystem location for additional application files such as those for Hudson: - -Dhudson.home=/home/hudson + -Dhudson.home=/home/hudson Updates/upgrades using this type of option will fail. FIX: tomcat6.postinst uses sed to parse various debconf answers into a template which is used to generate /etc/default/tomcat6; this currently uses '/' as the pattern delimiter - the fix switches this to '%' which is unlikely to be used in JAVA_OPTS. PATCH: See linked branch TEST CASE 1: sudo apt-get install tomcat6 sudo dpkg-reconfigure tomcat6 - Accept all default for user and group - Add an additional parameter to JAVA_OPTS - "-Dtest.dir=/var/log/nonsense" + Accept all default for user and group + Add an additional parameter to JAVA_OPTS - "-Dtest.dir=/var/log/nonsense" Reconfiguration will fail with "sed: -e expression #1, char 44: unknown option to `s'" TEST CASE 2: sudo apt-get install tomcat6 sudo vi /etc/default/tomcat6 - Add an additional parameter to JAVA_OPTS - "-Dtest.dir=/var/log/nonsense" + Add an additional parameter to JAVA_OPTS - "-Dtest.dir=/var/log/nonsense" sudo dpkg-reconfigure tomcat6 - Accept all default values + Accept all default values - Reconfiguration will fail with "sed: -e expression #1, char 44: unknown option to `s'" - + Reconfiguration will fail with "sed: -e expression #1, char 44: unknown + option to `s'" + IMPACT: Minor change to maintainer script; already in development release so limited regression potential. >>> Original bug report <<< Binary package hint: tomcat6 tomcat upgrade fails with the following error: "sed: -e expression #1, char 44: unknown option to `s'" ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.10 Package: tomcat6 6.0.28-2ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.35-22.33-server 2.6.35.4 Uname: Linux 2.6.35-22-server x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Oct 4 15:51:21 2010 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 10.04.1 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100816.2) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: LANG=en_GB.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: tomcat6
