            Bug ID: 61175
           Summary: Tomcat 8 dangling symlink on commons-dbcp.jar
           Product: Tomcat 8
           Version: 8.5.x-trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Catalina
          Assignee: dev@tomcat.apache.org
          Reporter: pweyand@gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ----

Sorry for posting another bug so soon, but I simply cannot get tomcat to work
on linux. I have now successfully installed tomcat 8 using sudo apt-get install
tomcat8 on a linux mint 18 machine (a debian like build). If I try and install
this file with eclipse however I get the following error: 


Description Resource    Path    Location    Type
The container 'Apache Tomcat v8.0 [Apache Tomcat v8.0]' references non existing
library '/usr/share/tomcat8/lib/commons-dbcp.jar'   helloworld2     Build path 
Build Path Problem


Investigating the problem I have found that the tomcat8 installation creates
danling symlinks. I have gone ahead and purged all of the previous
installations and reinstalled a fresh copy and sure enough: 

patientplatypus@next /usr/share/tomcat8/lib $ sudo chmod u+x commons-dbcp.jar
chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink 'commons-dbcp.jar'

So it would seem that on a completely fresh install there are libraries that
are missing that break tomcat.

Is there a fix for this? What can I do?

Bugzilla is not a support forum.  This is not a Tomcat bug, but there is likely
a problem with your configuration or much less likely with the Debian
repackaging of Tomcat.  You should post your query on the Tomcat users' mailing
list.
