Bug#517857: Do not create useless lib subdirectory in /var/lib/tomcat6 and private instances

[Thierry Carrez]

Package: tomcat6
Severity: minor
Version: 6.0.18-2
Tags: patch
User: ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com
Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch jaunty

Tomcat6 Java libraries are located in /usr/share/tomcat6/lib
($CATALINA_HOME/lib) but also linked to in /var/lib/tomcat6/lib
($CATALINA_BASE/lib). Tomcat 6 completely ignores $CATALINA_BASE/lib
(see /usr/share/doc/tomcat6-common/RUNNING.txt.gz for details) so this
directory is useless. It is confusing because the user tends to think he
can add libraries there as well.

In the same vein, tomcat6-instance-create also creates a "lib"
subdirectory in private tomcat6 instances... which is also ignored.

Proposed patch disables both useless directories. It's taken from
Ubuntu's recent 6.0.18-0ubuntu6.

Regards,
