cdrtools installs manpages for system functions

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The cdrtools port installs manpages which describe system functions. For example:

$ port provides /opt/local/share/man/man3/strlen.3.gz
/opt/local/share/man/man3/strlen.3.gz is provided by: cdrtools

If I look up the manpage for strlen by using man strlen, this manpage from cdrtools is displayed, hiding the system strlen manpage which I actually wanted to see.

I just noticed this also, when looking for sprintf, and found the issue described here:

​https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-from-scratch-13/blfs-8-1-cdrtools-overwrites-system-man-pages-4175622249/

and that Homebrew does the following to remove the manpages from the output:

I can't upgrade smake because of this issue:
