27 cdrkit used to install:
28 /usr/share/man/man1/mkisofs.1.bz2 -> /usr/share/man/man1/genisoimage.1.bz2
29
30 cdrtools installs:
31 /usr/share/man/man8/mkisofs.8.bz2
32
33 I suspect cdrkit did not clean up after itself properly, and man is finding
34 the cdrkit man page in man1 first.
35
36 Solution to your problem:
37 Simply delete the symlink in man1 and the thing it points to
