my '/etc/cron.weekly/man-db' contains only one _executed_ line:

/usr/bin/nice /usr/bin/mandb --create 2>/dev/null > /dev/null

if yours does too try this line without the '2>/dev/null >/dev/null' or even
with an additional '--debug' so it looks like this

/usr/bin/nice /usr/bin/mandb --create
or
/usr/bin/nice /usr/bin/mandb --create --debug

execute is manually and see what 'mandb' has to moan about.

HTH
