Hi Alessandro

I'm unsure as to the cause of the 'Exec format error' problem you have seen.

Please can you try the following:

   sudo apt-get clean
   sudo apt-get install --reinstall jetty

This may be a transient issue due to a corrupt archive or something similar.

I'm going to mark this as 'Invalid' as I don't think its actually a bug. If you continue to see the issue please set back to 'New' and we can try to diagnose further.

Thanks
