I've been able to duplicate and then solve this here, under Ubuntu 8.04 (on x86).
The issue causing mild confusion about this bug is that the current package works fine using the default (java-gcj) JRE. However, if one installs the Sun JRE and sets it as the default using sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun *then* the symptoms of this bug appear. Adding the extra library directory /usr/bin/jni is harmless to the java- gcj JRE. The solution now seems clear: add that directory to the library path in the launch script. Therefore, I have created a "fixed" package of iriverter, the .debdiff of which is attached. I'll do my best to see this through to a new revision upload in the next few days. There are a few packaging and lintian warnings I'll probably clean up while I am "inside" the iriverter package tree, too. Feedback is very welcome -- I'm new to Ubuntu development, though not to Linux or to software development.
