mandb runs out of /etc/cron.daily/man-db to update the man database.  You
don't really want to remove it (though, for a personal-use machine it
probably doesn't need to run that often).  You can simply delete the
dangling symlink (left behind when a package was changed - odds are it'll
automatically get fixed at some future date, but there's no need to wait).
