I regularly patch my 11.1 o/s via "zypper ref -b" followed by "zypper up".

Usually everything goes fine. However, last night tomcat6 was one of the
proposed upgrades, and it failed.

This morning I repeated my usual procedure, and only tomcat6 was proposed.

When it ran, it failed with the message below.

Any ideas about how to proceed (info to gather, is it a config problem
on my end, etc.)?

Here is the dialog produced:

The following package is going to be upgraded:
  tomcat6

after the operation.

Here is the state of files Cat* in /etc/tomcat:

crustacean:/etc/tomcat6 # ls -lad Cat*
drwxr-xr-x 3 tomcat tomcat 80 May 13 08:43 Catalina
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root   root   27 Jun 30 11:05 Catalina;4a4a29a1 ->

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root   root   27 Jul  1 10:36 Catalina;4a4b7455 ->

Here is what is at /var/cache/tomcat6:
crustacean:/var/cache/tomcat6 # ls -lad .
drwxrwxr-x 3 root tomcat 72 May 10 13:21 .
crustacean:/var/cache/tomcat6 # ls -lad *
drwxrwxr-x 2 root tomcat 48 Feb 10 09:24 temp

The directory /var/cat/tomcat6/temp is empty.

Here is what I have installed relative to tomcat:

crustacean:/ # rpm -qa | grep -i tomcat
jakarta-commons-collections-tomcat5-3.2-88.13
tomcat6-docs-webapp-6.0.18-16.2.1

tomcat6-6.0.18-16.1.1
tomcat6-admin-webapps-6.0.18-16.2.1

Hope this is the correct level of detail to include.

Any help/guidance will be appreciated.
