43 thanks for that hint. But running locate I cannot find the files mentioned.
44 locate mkisofs.8.bz2
45 /usr/share/man/man8/mkisofs.8.bz2 <--this is to be the correct man.
46
47 locate geniso
48 /usr/portage/app-cdr/xcdroast/files/mkisofs2genisoimage.patch <---what
49 is that?
50
51 cdrkit causes a lot of trouble to me.
52
53
54
55 [edit]: I just found: /var/cache/man/cat1/mkisofs.1.lzma this is for

57 can I simply remove this file?
