The central .db file is /usr/lib/gcj-4.0.0/classmap.db jar specific .db files go in the directory /usr/lib/gcj-4.0.0/classmap.db.d. See below for the contents of my FC4 system's directory. RPM post install and uninstall scripts build the classmap.db file from scratch using /usr/bin/rebuild-gcj-db, which is part of the java-1.4.2-gcj-compat package. So there's no real "unmerging" happening - just rebuilding from scratch. It's a very fast process. $ ls -l /usr/lib/gcj-4.0.0/classmap.db.d/ total 63560 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 23 06:30 ant-1.6.2.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 352256 May 19 08:41 eclipse-bugzilla.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 430080 May 23 12:26 eclipse-cdt.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 352256 Apr 26 21:26 eclipse-changelog.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 22 12:14 eclipse-ecj.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 22 12:15 eclipse-jdt.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 22 12:15 eclipse-pde.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 22 12:17 eclipse-platform.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 352256 Apr 26 16:11 eclipse-pydev.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 23 06:49 jakarta-commons-beanutils-1.7.0.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 23 06:55 jakarta-commons-collections-3.1.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 23 07:14 jakarta-commons-digester-1.6.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 23 07:48 jakarta-commons-el-1.0.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 23 07:56 jakarta-commons-logging-1.0.4.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 23 08:47 jakarta-commons-modeler-1.1.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8192 Apr 22 11:42 jsch.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 22 12:17 libswt3-gtk2.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 6 06:29 mx4j-2.1.0.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 5 06:21 regexp-1.3.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 10 03:40 struts-1.1.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 10 03:58 tomcat5-servlet-2.4-api-5.0.30.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 5 06:19 xerces-j2-2.6.2.db -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3522560 May 5 06:26 xml-commons-1.0.db
