Bug#615873: tomcat6: Weird dependencies

[Olivier Berger]

Package: tomcat6-admin
Version: 6.0.28-9+squeeze1
Severity: normal
File: tomcat6

Hi.

I guess there are weird dependencies : I manage to have tomcat6 removed, whereas tomcat6-admin and tomcat6-common are installed.

$ LANG=C dpkg -l tomcat6 tomcat6-common tomcat6-admin
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold

+++-===========================================-===========================================-======================================================================================================

ii  tomcat6-admin                               6.0.28-9+squeeze1                           Servlet and JSP engine -- admin web applications
ii  tomcat6-common                              6.0.28-9+squeeze1                           Servlet and JSP engine -- common files

It would seem obvious, that upon removal of tomcat6, there's a failed reverse dependency on these, so I'm prompted for removal of these too by aptitude resolver.

Note that tomcat6-user isn't installed either.

Thanks in advance.
