Error is:
Setting up tomcat6-common (6.0.18-0ubuntu3.1) ...
Setting up tomcat6 (6.0.18-0ubuntu3.1) ...
chgrp: cannot dereference `/etc/tomcat6/Catalina': No such file or directory
chgrp: cannot access `/etc/tomcat6/Catalina/localhost': No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing tomcat6 (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I can't reproduce it in my testing... Did you do anything special with the /etc/tomcat6/Catalina directory, like changing its permissions ?

Hi Thierry:
    I'm not sure, everything seems OK in terms of permissions. I am actually trying this again with a new system with a fresh install. I'll let you know if it comes up with the same situation. I would cancel this request, unless I get the same error again. If I do, I will re-report it again.

 Regards,
Hardy S.

OK, please reopen (set status back to New) if you can reproduce it. Many thanks for your help in making Ubuntu better !

I did a re-install of Tomcat6 and got the same error. I then did a complete removal and then installed again and it worked. Must be some configuration file that is causing the problems.
