I'm running lucid server and have installed tomcat. The version it installed is 6.0.24-2ubuntu1.6.

Is this the version I'm tied to? Is it possible to install a more recent version? The one available from maverick is 6.0.28.

Maybe I can add a source to provide my lucid install with this version? In the package manager user interface I can "force version". Is it possible to force version from command line alternative as well?
