Package: tomcat4
Version: 4.1.31-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


I tried to update tomcat4 on different servers from 4.1.30 to 4.1.31. 
Now all my webapps are not running anymore. I get the following error 
and tomcat dies:

2005-03-18 11:52:46 ContextConfig[/hisqis/qisserver] Parse error in default web.xml
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.commons.collections.ArrayStack.push(ArrayStack.java:158)
	at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.push(Digester.java:1628)
	at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.defaultConfig(ContextConfig.java:488)

and

2005-03-18 11:52:46 ContextConfig[/hisqis/qisserver] Parse error in application web.xml
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at org.apache.commons.collections.ArrayStack.push(ArrayStack.java:158)
	at org.apache.commons.digester.Digester.push(Digester.java:1628)
	at org.apache.catalina.startup.ContextConfig.applicationConfig(ContextConfig.java:221)

This is totally independent of the contents of the web.xml file. I
even exchanged the files with the contents of
/usr/share/tomcat4/.debian/web.xml but to no avail.

Something seams to have changed between 4.1.30 and 4.1.31
totally. This makes the package unusable for most installations.
