So harmless stuff is often left behind.
Ingo, Thanks for the quick reply, I deleted the cat* directories and everything is good after a quick makewhatis -Q. The reasoning behind the upgrade instructions is sound, although I think leftover man pages are not exactly harmless. For example, my system still had the rtsold man page installed and I was confused when I couldn’t find the binary. Hopefully anyone who runs into this problem in the future will find this post.
