This is also a problem (probably known) when running repair permissions:
Permissions differ on ./usr/share/man/man3/DB.3, should be -rw-r--r-- , they
are -r--r--r--
Owner and group corrected on ./usr/share/man/man3/DB.3
Permissions corrected on ./usr/share/man/man3/DB.3

It does this every time I do a repair permissions. It's quite circular.
In the receipt (BSDSDK.pkg) there are both DB.3 and db.3, on my system db.3
isn't installed but Disk Utility ignores case, apparently. Pacifist uses
the same receipts to verify and ignores case as well.
DB.3 is part of a Perl guide. db.3 is the file associated with the dbopen
procedure. Oddly, the man page for dbopen is also part of the install
package and in the receipt, "/usr/share/man/man3/dbopen.3".
