man/mandb errors

[Paul Mackinney <paul@mackinney.net>]

At the last update of the man package, I elected to install the new
version of /etc/manpath config. The only customization I'd made was to
add the man pages for my java installation, and I was OK with losing
it. But now every time I run man, I get the following errors:

mandb: can't chmod /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/man/index.db: \
Operation not permitted
mandb: can't remove /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/man/index.db: \
Permission denied
mandb: warning: can't update index cache \
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/man/index.db: Permission denied
mandb: No databases created.

This is sort of understandable because the manpath command still shows
the java man directory 

$ manpath
/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_02/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/share/man:/usr/X11R6/man

But I don't understand why since manpath.config doesn't list it and my
MANPATH variable is not set. I've run mandb (without errors) and read
most of the man-related docs, but I don't understand what's going on.
How can I get manpath to drop the java man directory?

TIA, PM
