I just tested this on a fresh Hardy install (tomcat55) and it also does not work:
========== # dpkg-statoverride --add ubuntu ubuntu 755 /etc/tomcat5.5 # dpkg-statoverride --list ubuntu ubuntu 755 /etc/tomcat5.5 # aptitude install tomcat5.5 # ls -ld /etc/tomcat5.5/ drwxr-x--- 4 tomcat55 adm 4096 2010-04-09 17:23 /etc/tomcat5.5/ ========== Here is the same with a fresh Intrepid (tomcat6) install: ========== # dpkg-statoverride --add ubuntu ubuntu 755 /etc/tomcat6 # dpkg-statoverride --list ubuntu ubuntu 755 /etc/tomcat6 # apt-cache madison tomcat6 tomcat6 | 6.0.18-0ubuntu3.3 | http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid-updates/main Packages tomcat6 | 6.0.18-0ubuntu3.3 | http://security.ubuntu.com intrepid-security/main Packages tomcat6 | 6.0.18-0ubuntu3 | http://archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages # aptitude install tomcat6=6.0.18-0ubuntu3 # ls -ld /etc/tomcat6/ drwxr-xr-x 3 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 2010-04-09 17:43 /etc/tomcat6/ ========== Then, still on Intrepid: ========== # aptitude purge tomcat6 # dpkg-statoverride --list ubuntu ubuntu 755 /etc/tomcat6 # aptitude install tomcat6=6.0.18-0ubuntu3.3 # ls -ld /etc/tomcat6/ drwxr-xr-x 4 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 2010-04-09 18:04 /etc/tomcat6/ ========== So I'm not sure how to interpret this.
