thx to Tony for the huge effort!

I installed the update on 2 machines this morning, and i received an error message:

Setting up tomcat6 (6.0.41-2+squeeze5) ...

sed: -e _expression_ #1, char 396: unknown option to `s'

dpkg: error processing tomcat6 (--configure):

configured to not write apport reports

                                      Errors were encountered while processing:

 tomcat6

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

A package failed to install.  Trying to recover:
