Citing from the Postfix dict_db.c module:

    /*
     * With some Berkeley DB implementations, close fails with a bogus ENOENT
     * error, while it reports no errors with put+sync, no errors with
     * del+sync, and no errors with the sync operation just before this
     * comment. This happens in programs that never fork and that never share
     * the database with other processes. The bogus close error has been
     * reported for programs that use the first/next iterator. Instead of
     * making Postfix look bad because it reports errors that other programs
     * ignore, I'm going to report the bogus error as a non-error.
     */
    if (DICT_DB_CLOSE(dict_db->db) < 0)
        msg_info("close database %s: %m (possible Berkeley DB bug)",
                 dict_db->dict.name);

It this bothers you, think about all the programs that silently
ignore errors.
