[Bug 1262204] Re: tomact7 installation is confusing the user with home-directy. Tomcat is saying "directory will not be created"

[Robie Basak]

Thank you for taking the time to file this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better.

The message "Not creating home directory" is just a consequence of the
package postinst using the --no-create-home option to adduser as
/usr/share/tomcat7 is provided by packaging. I don't believe that there
is any problem with doing this.

Do you have a specific problem here apart from the misleading message?

Assuming that you're reporting just the misleading message, the best way
forward would be to verify that the message is also misleading in
tomcat7 in Debian, and then to file a bug there, as Ubuntu is unlikely
to diverge from Debian for such a trivial bug.
