gcj-dbtool-4.2 is a program on your disk that is apparently not associated
with any package.  libdb4.7-java-gcj is a package, so running dpkg -S on
it would not be helpful.

If you had the proper package installed, libgcj.so.81 would be present
because of the appropriate dependency on the libgcj8-1 package.

The question is why you have gcj-dbtool-4.2 if the package is not
installed.
