I had problems with db2html not being executable:

alpha:~$ file /usr/bin/db2html 
/usr/bin/db2html: Bourne shell script text executable
alpha:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/db2html 
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          482 Oct  4 11:28 /usr/bin/db2html

I remember doing a "chmod +x" on a local copy of the script to make it 
work with some Debian sources (forgot which)
