Sorry, cant help with the warnings.. anyone? I get them too.
Why it was corrupt? I cant remember the reason I was given once.. but I
know that it happens. `mandb --create` usually fixes any man problems I
have..

And as for the underlying problems? I would say it's just a simple dregs
situation. Some packages may have left some symlinks after removal for
some unbeknown reason.. I dont know, thats just a guess :)
