      Install tomcat excluding the deprecated package so that only the new package is installed:

      # yum install tomcat7 --exclude=jpackage-utils

      Install tomcat excluding the deprecated package so that only the new package is installed: # yum install tomcat7 --exclude=jpackage-utils

      I just noticed that we have a dependency on the jpackage-utils package, which as been deprecated since August 2013. This is not a function problem as it's still working, but that's because the package was merged into javapackages-tools so it installs that package instead. I noticed an unlikely issue when both packages are available and you try to install tomcat, yum tries to install both...which fails due to a conflict. Let's update the BuildRequires and Requires of the tomcat specs to the new package to prevent that (and make the spec more accurate), unless someone has a compelling reason not to.
