I should have noted that: -- I was also using man-2.3.10-2, and -- when I ran mandb, I got no other error messages than the one associated with dc.
Other than the message about dc, running mandb -c had (for me) the desired beneficial effect of eliminating an error message I kept getting from 'apropos' after I'd manually placed some pages in /usr/local/man/manl.
