Wrong user in postinst/postrm

[Marcus Sundman]

Binary package hint: tomcat5.5

The postinst script adds a user named "tomcat5", but the postrm script tries to delete a user named "tomcat5.5". Furthermore, the user "tomcat5" is used by the tomcat5 package, so if you remove that package (which removes the "tomcat5" user) while tomcat5.5 is installed the installation will become quite corrupted. In fact, after this you cannot even remove/reinstall the tomcat5.5 package!!!
So, either fix the tomcat5 package and tomcat5.5's postrm, or make all of tomcat5.5 use a user named "tomcat5.5".

I believe this bug has been fixed. The package "tomcat5.5" uses the user "tomcat55" in Feisty.

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

Yes, fixed since feisty.

tomcat5.5 (5.5.20-2) unstable; urgency=medium
  .
  * tomcat5.5 has now the user tomcat55 and remove user tomcat5 if package
    tomcat5 is marked as purge or if it's never been installed (closes:
    #386831).

[Matti Lindell (mlind)]

The version with the fix should have been tomcat5.5 (5.5.17-2).
