Subject: Apropos and Man.  Help!

I am trying to recreate the whatis database for apropos. What I get is a huge
file containing everything there is on the system. I want it to only be man
pages. Also, if I run mkwhatis with any arguements I get the error message:

Syntax near ]d

Also, where can I get all new man pages? I need to completely delete and
re-install my man and cat pages cause some stuff is in a totally different
format, some commands are not even listed, and some is binary garbage. Would
it be sunsite.unc.edu?

ANy help would be greatly appreciated.
