Apropos always returns several duplicate matches from whatis When I run `apropos` or `man -k` in bash, it always returns the same item (at least one) twice: !Bash screen-dump **Question** Why is it doing this; and would it indicate that there's a possible configuration issue with my system? I'm using OSX.

From this link titled: Subject: Re: omitting duplicates in apropos and apropos-list - msg#00017, I found the information below.

> "Because a symbol might be available by way of more than one inheritance path, apropos might print information about the same symbol more than once, or apropos-list might return a list containing duplicate symbols."

I also found from this link titled: duplicate entires for apropos after 5.0.7 MP5 (Linux & Unix Question), which contained the below piece of information.
