That indicates you didn't install the latest version of the package yet,
although that doesn't explain what happened to the configuration file.

Please update to the latest version of man-db so you get the bugfixed
perpetual postinstall file.

That is basicall to give you a hint of what has been done before the
latest install (if anything).  Not sure if that is still useful, but in
any case that isn't an issue here.

You'll probably want to de-install the man-db-index-synchronously
package so the index update is done in the background.
