Hm, here is what I get if tomcat6 is already created: $ sudo addgroup --system tomcat6 --quiet ; echo $? 0

Maverick ? -- postinst fails if group exists https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/611721 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to tomcat6 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
