>Description:
	/usr/libexec/makewhatis generates different lines for cat and man
	versions of manual pages thus duplicating most entries in the
	whatis db.  The cat version should be parsed more/better to insert the
	section information.  The parsing on the man version also sometimes
	doesn't work and loses the version information (e.g. on man1/man.1)

>How-To-Repeat:
	Should be obvious, e.g.
	% apropos wizd
	wizd (8) - automatically correct typographical errors in man pages
	wizd -- automatically correct typographical errors in man pages

>Fix:
	?
