Description of problem: Tomcat7 seem to not properly install log4j link in /usr/share/java/log4j [root@mgbsiti01 lib]# file /usr/share/tomcat/lib/log4j.jar /usr/share/tomcat/lib/log4j.jar: broken symbolic link to `/usr/share/java/log4j.jar' I tried to spot the problem in the spec file of the package but I still unsuccessful and keep trying :-(. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@mgbsiti01 lib]# rpm -qa | grep tomcat tomcat-lib-7.0.42-1.fc19.noarch tomcat-7.0.42-1.fc19.noarch tomcat-jsp-2.2-api-7.0.42-1.fc19.noarch tomcat-el-2.2-api-7.0.42-1.fc19.noarch tomcat-servlet-3.0-api-7.0.42-1.fc19.noarch [root@mgbsiti01 lib]# rpm -qf /usr/share/tomcat/lib/log4j.jar tomcat-lib-7.0.42-1.fc19.noarch How reproducible: yum install tomcat Steps to Reproduce: 1.yum install tomcat 2. 3. Actual results: log4j link is broken :-( Expected results: log4j link not broken :-) Additional info:
It seems tomcat-lib package should require log4j. Quick workaround for this issue: yum install log4j
Tomcat itself doesn't require log4j. It have it's own java.util.Logging implementation: tomcat-juli So may be adding Requires: log4j wouldn't be good idea. I'am thinking about removing log4j stuff from tomcat packages or keeping it as it is now(If user needs log4j he should install it via yum).
I think if you keep the link you should add log4j as a required if you remove the link you can just drop log4j :-)
