Package: tomcat8
Version: 8.5.16-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Tomcat Maintainers,

t the moment a whole installation of the tomcat8 packages does not require the installation of libservlet3.1-java caused by missing of a dependency within the control file.

The following error messages occured in catalina.out after Tomcat has been started.

I don't know really if 1) the package tomcat8 should contain the dependency to libservlet3.1-java or 2) analogously src:tomcat7 in Jessie the package libtomcat8-java should contain the dependency to libservlet3.1-java.


Furthermore the attached patch contains a second adjustment.
I don't know if there exists a convention regarding the dependency linking between the libxxx-java packages with their corresponding libxxx-java-doc packages, but imo the libservlet3.1-java should suggest libservlet3.1-java-doc but not vice versa.


Kind regards
Detlev
