Hi,
thank you for reporting the bug and help making Ubuntu better.

I just reran the installation and it worked fine, so I have to assume it has something to do with the local config.

I wonder if that might be related to any sort of old config still being around?
You could take a look with "dpkg -l tomcat7" if it is in rc state and if you want purge it to get rid of the old config.

Also I couldn't found anything in the autoattached log, could you have a look and attach systemctl status tomcat7.service" and "journalctl -xe"?
