This usually means that another mandb process was running concurrently;
perhaps you were running dpkg and it raced with the cron job. There's
not much to be done about this except try again later, but I agree that
it's not a very useful warning to get in cron mail. I've downgraded
this to a debug message for my next upstream release.

Downgrade EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK errors from attempts to open a
database read-write to debug messages (Debian bug #684235).
