I assume that's supposed to be "j2sdk".  In any case, nothing in the
ports tree refers to *any* file containing the string "1.4.2-06" at
all, so I have no idea what the problem is (I'm certainly not hitting
it myself, and I'm rebuilding my JDK at this very moment).

The Linux version can be installed from the ports collection.
