I have the same problem.  The file does show up in "dpkg -L":

   /usr/lib/jdk1.1/bin/i686/green_threads/java

But on the filesystem, the i686 directory is a symlink to the i586
directory, and i586/green_threads is empty.  Perhaps this is a bug in
dpkg?  (I suspect that if you remove the jdk1.1 package and reinstall it,
it will fix the problem.)


Judging from the bugs database, dpkg has a bunch of problems with
symlinks.
