that'd be weird if they would change the supported versions for a tomcat slot during the development. they still claim on their website lower supported versions: https://tomcat.apache.org/whichversion.html but what we can try is to build using a newer version but still create lower version bytecode, that is increase version in DEPEND but keep RDEPEND as it is.

Highly annoying.
