This says that you configured your database with suffix
"dc=tre-pb3,dc=gov,dc=br"; if you agree on this, let's go on.

This says that you're trying to add an entry whose DN is "dc=gov,dc=br";
if you agree on this, let's go on.

This is telling you that poor slapd is so stupid that it is unable to add
an entry "dc=gov,dc=br" into a database that's been configured to be
rooted
at "dc=tre-pb3,dc=gov,dc=br"; whatever entry you try to add, it has to be
"dc=tre-pb3,dc=gov,dc=br" itself ot a child of it, i.e. something that has
at least "dc=tre-pb3,dc=gov,dc=br" at the rightmost of its DN.

It is any clearer now?

The base.ldif file is not the database; the file contains what you wish
could make it into the database, while slapd replies based on what
currently is into the database.

Exactly: your database is empty yet; everything is still in your .ldif
file, waiting for you to remove the first entry before anything from the
entry whose DN is equal to the suffix in your database up to the outermost
leave can be written into the database.
