Yes, I can reproduce this. mandb doesn't seem to have correctly handled
fs(5) changing from being a real page to being a symlink, and still has
the out-of-date information from its previous incarnation.

Thanks,

Hi Colin,

do you have an idea for this behaviour?

(and do you know if it is caused by fs(5)/filesystems(5) or apropos?)

Regards,

Joey

Package: manpages
Version: 3.01-2
Severity: wishlist

Odd, the fs link has a more up to date view of the page in question:
$ apropos vfat
filesystems (5)  - Linux file-system types: minix, ext, ext2, ext3, Reise...
fs (5)   - Linux filesystem types: minix, ext, ext2, ext3, xia, m...
$ man -w fs
/usr/share/man/man5/filesystems.5.gz
$ apropos -d vfat 2>&1|grep st_mtime
st_mtime   1214570686
st_mtime   1200734988
Though it's st_mtime is older.
