The last three are not errors, but the first is.

I wish I knew why man-db is failing; I maintain the thing and I don't
understand why.

Can you please follow the directions I gave in
http://bugs.debian.org/252425? Use nano as the editor, and note that you
must make the change between the time when man-db is extracted and when
it's configured (watch tty3 for the dpkg output so that you know when to
do this).

Thanks,
