I'm answering two posts at a time.

bogofilter 0.92.8 does not yet support transactional databases, that's a
0.93 feature. That explains why you don't have a database environment
that could be checkpointed or recovered and why you're getting "file not
found" errors, as the environment files are missing, having never been there.

Exactly (only it's db_checkpoint-4.2).

In your case, it had never been created rather than being removed.

Bogofilter scripts from the distribution are usually fit only for the
bogofilter version they shipped with, 0.93 scripts may not or not
completely work for 0.92 bogofilter/bogoutil versions.
