It seems as this is a mixed woody/testing/unstable/experimental
installation.
According to the System Information its woody 3.0 !
adduser is the woody version.
apache-utils is the sarge version
So this is not a bug in tomcat4 - just a mixed installation which
seems to use a really old libcommons-collections-java version - maybe
the old woody 1.0-1 version. As Killer said the problem is caused if the
libcommons-collection-java version is < 2.1 - but the version in testing
and unstable is 2.1.1-3 can't happen also without a versioned
dependency.
Christoph pleasee send us your libcommons-collections-java version and
also report back if you have a mixed woody/sarge environment.
IMHO this bug can be closed as it is not related to a testing or
unstable installation, nor a woody installation !
An apt-get dist-upgrade from woody to sarge should solve the problem !
