[Bug 563642] Re: tomcat6 (6.0.24) "Duplicate local variable" error

[Thierry Carrez]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: tomcat6
  
  version: tomcat 6.0.24
  
  Since it is already reported in bugzilla I am not going to copy-paste it all here.
  Full description of the bug can be found here: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=48616
  
  Since 6.0.24 is the default version in lucid and the bug is fixed in
  newer versions the solution could be to upgrade the lucid package.
+ 
+ == SRU Report ==
+ Impact:
+ Regression for applications using Struts 1.2 or bean:define, they can't work after upgrading to Lucid.
+ 
+ Development branch fix:
+ 6.0.26 upstream has this fix, and a sync request to 6.0.26-1 was filed.
+ 
+ Minimal patch:
+ http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ttx/tomcat6/lucid-sru/revision/20
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ $ sudo apt-get install tomcat6
+ $ cd /tmp && tar zxvf testcase.tar.gz
+ $ sudo mv /tmp/struts-blank /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps
+ Access http://localhost:8080/struts-blank/pages/Welcome.jsp
+ Affected version returns: HTTP status 500 Unable to compile class for JSP / Duplicate local variable
+ Fixed version returns: a "Welcome" page.
+ 
+ Regression potential:
+ Given the nature of the patch it is regression-prone, however that patch was applied upstream, released in 6.0.25+ and did not trigger known regressions.
