	Have you looked at / tried to execute /etc/cron.daily/man-db to see
what the heck it does?  I'm not a debian user, but this is where I'd start
since it appears to be the "problem" (or is not getting the input it needs
from a precursor).  "return code 2" seems a bit ambiguous, but I am making
the leap of assumption that it's an error.

Love,
Don
