I've fixed this upstream, and the fix will be in man-db 2.5.6.
Wed Jul 22 10:48:10 BST 2009 Colin Watson <[email protected]>
Make whatis/apropos only display any given manual page, or pointers
to it, once (Ubuntu bug #27113).
* lib/hashtable.c (hash_lookup_structure): Make external.
* lib/hashtable.h (hash_lookup_structure): Add prototype.
* src/whatis.c (get_whatis): Split pointer resolution out to ...
(resolve_pointers): ... here. Only accept info->pointer == page if
info->name == page too.
(display): Use resolve_pointers so that we have the resolved name
to hand. Only display any given resolved name once.
(main): Initialise display_seen hash table.
* docs/NEWS: Document this.
** Changed in: man-db (Ubuntu)
