  • Whereas this question has been closed, it looks as if you may find an answer there. – Jos Jan 22 '16 at 11:02
  • There is no test in the tomcat7 post-installation script for Trusty to check for an existing /etc/tomcat7/tomcat-users.xml before the chmod command is running. [Edit] your question and add the output of sudo touch /etc/tomcat7/tomcat-users.xml – A.B. Jan 22 '16 at 11:04

Remove this file: /etc/tomcat7/tomcat-users.xml, restart the system and run the commands below

 sudo apt-get update

then 

 sudo apt-get install tomcat7 
 sudo service tomcat7 restart
