Guys,
    I have committed a debian/control file for the tomcat4 package that
imposes both build (tomcat4 source) and runtime(tomcat4 binary)
dependencies the following library versions:

libcommons-digester-java >= 1.5.0.1
libcommons-collections-java >= 2.1.1
libcommons-beanutils-java >= 1.6.1
libcommons-logging-java >= 1.0.4

    This ensures that dependencies are satisfied for versions of the
upstream libraries that are required by Tomat as well as one another,
and ensures that the versions currently in testing are acceptable.
    If someone could please test this build on x86 and upload it, that
would be great.  I am out of town this week and it appears my DSL modem
has locked up at home, preventing me from accessing my x86 box on which
I normally build this.  I tried to build with
j2sdk1.3-blackdown/xmlParserAPIs.jar/xercesImpl.jar, but I get the
commons-dbcp-related error shown at the bottom of this message.  The
package has built previously with the Sun 1.4 JDK packages generated by
java-package without issue.

$ debuild -ICVS -us -uc

BUILD FAILED
/home/barryh/packages/tomcat4/tomcat4-4.1.31/build-tree/jakarta-tomcat-4.1.31-src/build.xml:67:
The following error occurred while executing this line:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError:

Thanks,
