It was an update, but I just tried on another computer with a clean
install, I have the same problem.

Can you check the content of MANIFEST.MF in
/usr/share/tomcat5.5/bin/bootstrap.jar, especially:
  Class-Path: jmx.jar commons-daemon.jar commons-logging-api-1.1.1.jar t
   omcat-juli.jar

I don't have any commons-logging-api-1.1.1.jar in
/usr/share/tomcat5.5/bin/, but a commons-logging-api.jar which is a
symlink to /usr/share/java/commons-logging-api.jar.

I guess one of the reason you can't reproduce the bug might be because
you have a /usr/share/tomcat5.5/bin/commons-logging-api-1.1.1.jar which
does not belong to any package.

Note that MANIFEST.MF of tomcat 5.5.25 does contain the right
Class-Path.

Hope that helps.


Cheers,
