Ehm... 'whatis' is not 'whereis'. But leaving that aside, have a
look at your MANPATH: echo $MANPATH. If it contains repeated
entries, you may have to clean up /etc/env.d a bit: cd /etv/env.d/
and grep MANPATH *, prune the identical repetitions, then run
env-update, re-login and run makewhatis.
Also have a look at /etc/man.conf. The NOAUTOPATH keyword is
probably needed. Check with:
# grep -v ^# /etc/man.conf

# whatis man
man (1) - format and display the on-line manual pages
man (1p) - display system documentation
man (7) - macros to format man pages
man.conf [man] (5) - configuration data for man
To get rid of the multiple reports by 'whereis', apply the attached
patch in an overlay to util-linux. It removes from the whereis
search path the dirs that on my system are symlinks.
