TLDR: Please check if the "/var/lib/tomcat8/shared" folder is still used with Tomcat 8.
I have applied the previously attached patch, the package builds fine, but when installing the .deb the following error occurs: Setting up biomaj-watcher (1.2.2-2) ... Updating Context.xml... Configuration complete cp: cannot create regular file ‘/var/lib/tomcat8/shared/biomaj.jar’: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing package biomaj-watcher (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: biomaj-watcher E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) The cause of the issue is that there is no "shared" folder in /var/lib/tomcat8/ When creating that folder manually, the package installation/configuration completes succesfully. I wanted to test if that folder needed to exist, or if Tomcat 8 even looks at that location. Unfortunately, when accessing http://localhost:8080/BmajWatcher per d/README.Debian, I get a Tomcat 404 error message with a description that "The requested resource is not available." Since I have no experience with Tomcat, I haven't tried to go deeper in the configuration. Maybe you have a quick hint on how to configure Tomcat so that I could try to go further. But even if that page worked I'm not sure I could validate that the "shared" folder is used appropriately. Please validate that. +Emilien
