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.

I'm going to try to reassign this bug report from dc to man.
When I tried to reproduce it on my system, I saw the following:

This was with man-2.3.10-2.

Package:  dc
Version:  1.03-8  

When running the command mandb -c, I got the message:
Processing manual pages under /usr/man...
mandb: warning: /usr/man/man1/dc.1: whatis parse for dc(1) failed

I recall some comments on mandb recently, so I apologize for this possible
redundancy; the bug logs aren't available for checking just now.

I am using:
base            0.93.6 10
dpkg             1.0.5 0 
source          1.2.13 4
