/usr/man and /usr/share/man, so programs like whatis and apropos               
                                                                               
     
give two matches for each man page (try whatis ls for instance).               
                                                                               
     
                                                                               
                                                                               
     
Now, it appears that makewhatis adds /usr/man regardless of what

uncomment the /usr/share/man entry, even though that's where the
