Bug#712638: tomcat7: dependency to tomcat-native is too weak (no version for libtcnative-1 specified)

[H.-Dirk Schmitt]

Package: tomcat7
Version: 7.0.40-2~precise1~ppa1
Severity: important


This is a forward to the upstream debian package from the original ubuntu bug report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tomcat7/+bug/1092548

>As I backported tomcat7 7.0.34 from raring to precise I have seen the following error message:
>
>> An incompatible version 1.1.22 of the APR based Apache Tomcat Native library is installed, while Tomcat requires version 1.1.24
>
>The reason is that the suggests line doesn't set a minimum version for libtcnative-1.
>The tomcat 7.0.34 needs libtcnative-1 1.1.24 (not 1.1.22).


The situation still exists in the currently installed package. This a a "no-change-backport" from debian/sid.
Here is also libtcnative-1 without any version number specified.

The problem may break tomcat7 functionality on updates of the tomcat7 package.
