Description of problem:
On a machine recently upgraded to FC4 from FC3, I ran "yum install tomcat5". A bunch of goodies (dependencies) installed. During the yum install, there was a warning about not being able to locate the xml-commons-api.jar during the tomcat5 setup. Even so, the install appeared to succeed.

When launching tomcat5, I would get the error in the log (/usr/share/tomcat5/log/catalina.out):

Bootstrap: Class loader creation threw exception

Closer examination of the file mentioned in the error: 
file:/usr/share/tomcat5/common/endorsed/[xml-commons-apis].jar
showed it was a broken link (which makes sense because that package was not listed as a dependency of tomcat5, and hence did not exist).

I later ran "yum install xml-commons-apis", and tomcat5 would start without errors.

I'm pretty sure there is a bug in the dependencies of the tomcat5 package. The xml-commons package is installed, but the "apis" package is required and is NOT installed. 

Apologies if this is not the correct place to report this problem.

Additional info:
