Yes. libdb4.7-java-gcj calls /usr/bin/rebuild-gcj-db which is a script that is part of the libgcj-common package. rebuild-gcj-db in turn goes through and looks for gcj-dbtool-4.2, gcj-dbtool-4.3, and gcj-dbtool-4.4. It runs each one it finds. In your case, it is obviously finding gcj-dbtool-4.2, so it is running it. You have already established that gcj-dbtool-4.2 is not associated with any associated package. It is this mysterious gcj-dbtool-4.2 in your PATH, missing its library dependency, which is the cause of your problem. > I gather it is in one or more scripts associated with the > libdb4.7-java-gcj package since I'm getting messages related to that > package immediately before and after the gcj-dbtool-4.2 error.

The source of you having a gcj-dbtool-4.2 despite the package not being installed is the mystery that needs to be solved. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
