Bug#570220: tomcat6: Not able to load class org.apache.tomcat.util.log.SystemLogHandler

[Fladischer Michael]

Package: tomcat6
Version: 6.0.24-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Running '/etc/init.d/tomcat6 start' is not able to start tomcat6 and
results in the following error in /var/log/tomcat6/catalina.out:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/tomcat/util/log/SystemLogHandler

I think the tomcat.jar is missing in either tomcat6 or libtomcat6-java.
