It seems like you have some issues with your package manager, this could be because of corrupted sources. Are you able to install other packages ? What kind of OS are you running exactly?

uname -a

You can also try to run this:

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade -y && apt-get dist-upgrade -y

After the dist upgrade I can advise you to reboot the server. After the reboot try to runsudo apt-get install tomcat7

Goodluck!

I had the same problem, my fault was install openjdk9. I removed all, then purge and -f install. After the clean, just install tomcat7 with sudo apt-get install, he got all he need 

  sudo apt-get remove openjdk*
  sudo apt-get purge openjdk*
  sudo apt-get autoremove
  sudo apt-get -f install
  sudo apt-get install tomcat7

faced this same problem and found a simple solution. This happens because newly installed tomcat is not able to find JAVA_HOME. Just go to /etc/default/tomcat7, uncomment the JAVA_HOME variable and supply the right path to your installed java directory.

This will solve the problem.
