Bug#511179: dpkg error while configure gij-4.3

["i" <i9k@gawab.com>]

Package: gij-4.3
Version: 4.3.2-2

Debian Version: Lenny

I have tried to install openoffice.org-writer with apt-get. By
default, it seems that apt-get now install too the Deps
Recommends, so while I install openoffice.org-writer it install
me a big list of dependencies (with lots of *java* things)
including gij-4.3. And there is a problem with the --configure
process. I am sorry it is in French but it look like that :

$ sudo apt-get install openoffice.org-writer
(...)

    Parametrage de libecj-java (3.3.0+0728-9) ...
(...)
etc, etc...

So nothing is configured because of gij-4.3 :
# dpkg --configure gij-4.3
Parametrage de gij-4.3 (4.3.2-2) ...
/var/lib/dpkg/info/gij-4.3.postinst: line 29: 17379 Erreur de

dpkg : erreur de traitement de gij-4.3 (--configure) :

erreur de sortie d'etat 2
 Des erreurs ont ete rencontrees pendant l'execution :
  gij-4.3

I wasn't able to find the classmap.db

Well I solved my problem with a little help of a friend who told
me to add the option --no-install-recommends to apt-get. So I've
removed all the packages including openoffice.org-writer,
gij-4.3, *java* stuffs and made :

# apt-get install --no-install-recommends openoffice.org-writer

This time, no depends were there, no *java* and no gij-4.3, just
openoffice.org-writer wich is running fine on my box.

The problem is solved for me, but maybe someone wants to check
where is the issue with this gij-4.3 ?
