Bug#425871: tomcat5.5-admin: admin servlet fails to start; throws an Allocate exception

[Diab Jerius]

Package: tomcat5.5-admin
Version: 5.5.20-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


The Tomcat admin webapp fails with the following error in the admin
log file:

May 22, 2007 6:22:20 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationDispatcher invoke
SEVERE: Allocate exception for servlet action
javax.servlet.UnavailableException: org/apache/commons/digester/Digester

I've strace'd tomcat and it successfully finds and open()'s the .jar file:

% grep digester strace.log

The .jar file seems to be intact.  

I've attached the tomcat logs.  Is there anything else that I can provide?

Thanks!
