I've just been called out of bed.
As it seems unattended-upgrades upgraded on a debian buster server
from:9.0.16-4 to 9.0.31-1~deb10u1
One of the installed webapps throws following error when trying to use it:

[https-openssl-nio-8443-exec-13] ERROR org.zkoss.zk.ui.metainfo.Property -
Failed to assign [value=${i18n:rt('Benutzername')}] to <Label fLvPc>

Downgrading to 9.0.16-4 solves the issue.
Have you read the changelog or the Debian security announcement before
upgrading Tomcat 9 ? Does your application require the AJP protocol to
work? Then you probably need to slightly change your Tomcat
configuration. For more information please also refer to the official
documentation at

   https://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-9.0-doc/config/ajp.html

The application doesn't use ajp.

The sense of using unattended-upgrades and debian stable (no breaking changes on updates) is not to read each security announcement in before.

I'm not working in an area, where anybody would (be able to) pay for that.


If that does not solve your problem, then we need more information about
your setup and configuration to debug the problem but note that we ship
the latest upstream version basically unmodified, so this would be most
likely an upstream bug.

I could trace it back to the zk library used:

https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=64097

https://tracker.zkoss.org/browse/ZK-4510

That seems to be a really really weird bug. If I understand it correctly, it's the fault of zk, but I'm not 100% sure.

Anyway, as it seems if I manage to update the project to the new zk major version, it's supposed to work again.
