Hi Lars,

Different distributions give different names to Berkeley DB's
utilities.  I've got db_checkpoint, while you've got
db_checkpoint-4.2.  I've also seen names like db4.2_checkpoint.

What operating system/distribution are you using?  Are your bogofilter
executables from a package (RPM, DEB, etc) or did you build from source?

Two ideas come to mind.  Modifying the bf_* scripts to fit your machine
would work or you could create symlinks for the scripts you need.

A third possibility for folks who build from source would be having 
./configure determine utility names and generate bf_copy.sh from
bf_copy.sh.in.  To be honest, I don't know if this is feasible or
practical :-(

HTH,

David
