It looks as if at least 3 of the files you are processing contain
characters which either are not in UTF-8, or else cannot be
converted to ISO-8859-1. The conversion has already processed the
good files, so you need fresh source to identify which files are
causing the problem.
The easiest way to identify the file is probably to alter
convert-mans to
do
echo "processing $1" # add this line
FILE="$1"
I've no idea what is causing this, my only system with man-db is
LFS-6.3 and the command works there (on all my other builds I use
UTF-8 for manpages).
