temporary workaround I used: chmod g+x /var/log/tomcat6 chmod g+x /etc/tomcat6/ chown tomcat:tomcat -R /var/lib/tomcat6 chown tomcat:tomcat -R /var/lib/tomcat6 chown tomcat:tomcat -R /var/cache/tomcat6
Bug 677414 seems to describe the same problem. It provides a link to a new Tomcat version that requires more karma to be declared stable.
