Bug#573579: tomcat6 initscript failing

[Sverre Rabbelier]

Package: tomcat6
Version: 6.0.24-2
Severity: important

The tomcat6 initscript fails (without a clear indication as to why). Not sure how to debug the problem from here on.

laptop-sverre:~# invoke-rc.d tomcat6 start
Starting Tomcat servlet engine: tomcat6Using CATALINA_BASE:   /var/lib/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_HOME:   /usr/share/tomcat6
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /tmp/tomcat6-tmp
Using JRE_HOME:        /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
Using CLASSPATH:       /usr/share/tomcat6/bin/bootstrap.jar
 failed!
invoke-rc.d: initscript tomcat6, action "start" failed.

Rerunning the script with -x doesn't say much either (attached).
