I was wondering about those multiple hits I get every time I use whatis(1) or apropos(1) these days. Everything is listed three times, which is kind of annoying. It's not too hard to find the culprit if you look at whatis: /etc/man.conf lists /usr/man and /usr/X11R6/man as separate entries for MANPATH but these are both links to /usr/shar/man where the actual whatis-db lives. Now that's easy to fix, but I was wondering a) why it is like that in the default config (I don't think man.conf is built dynamically depending on whether e.g. you install X11?) and b) whether the best way to fix it would be to simply change man.conf or convert /usr/man and /usr/X11R6/man to real directories and ask portage for all manpages that are supposed to be installed there and move them from /usr/share/man manually?
cheers!
