Bug#315038: tomcat5: Tomcat5 doesn't start after installation

[Paul Romanchenko]

Package: tomcat5
Version: 5.0.30-1
Severity: grave
Tags: experimental
Justification: renders package unusable

After installation, configuring (via /etc/defaults/tomcat5, where I set
up JAVA_HOME) and starting tomcat5, I got the following in log files:

# cat /var/log/tomcat5/catalina_2005-06-20.log
Using CATALINA_BASE:   /var/lib/tomcat5
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat5
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /var/lib/tomcat5/temp
Using JAVA_HOME:       /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun
