[chef] Tomcat cookbook fails

["Mark H. Nichols" < >]

All —

I am trying to using the application_java cookbook to add a web app to my server. The tomcat portion of the recipe fails. Here’s the recipe:

  config.omnibus.chef_version = :latest

  config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
    chef.json = {
      :java => {
        :jdk_version => '7',
        :install_flavor => 'oracle',
        :oracle => { "accept_oracle_download_terms" => true }
      },
      :tomcat => {
        :base_version => '7',
        :catalina_options => 'JAVA_OPTS=" -server -Xms768M -Xmx768M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Djava.awt.headless=true  -Dreusestatement.debug.sql=true -Ddevel -DdebugOn=true -DextendedLoggingOn -Dlog4j.configuratorClass=ksutelc.common.log.TelcConfigurator -DdisableProcessingUnhandledExceptions"'
      }
    }

    chef.run_list = [
        "recipe[ome_creditcard::default]"
    ]
  end
end

The error I get says 

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

 tomcat6 : Depends: tomcat6-common (>= 6.0.35-1ubuntu3) but it is not going to be installed

STDERR: E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

The docs for application_java don’t indicate whether or not I need to have already installed tomcat, so I added a `depends tomcat` to my metadata.rb file, and added tomcat to the run_list.

…

 chef.run_list = [

        “recipe[tomcat]”,
        "recipe[ome_creditcard::default]"
    ]

…

I get the same error. 

What am I missing in this equation? 

Thanks,

Mark
