Description
Man appears to parse MANPATH correctly, but can't find the database for the second entry of the manpath. The behavior occurs if man.conf has 2 lines or if it has one line and you export "MANPATH=:/boot/home/config/non-packaged/man"
~> $ cat /boot/system/settings/man.conf
manpath /boot/system/documentation/man/
manpath /boot/home/config/non-packaged/man/
~> $ man wrap
[The man page comes up fine and is exited by pressing 'q']
man: /boot/system/var/mandoc/boot/system/documentation/man/mandoc.db/boot/home/config/non-packaged/man/mandoc.db: Not a directory man: outdated mandoc.db lacks wrap(1) entry, run makewhatis /boot/home/config/non-packaged/man
Currently running: Haiku shredder 1 hrev56578+96 Apr 30 2024 06:39: x86_64 x86_64 Haiku on VirtualBox
The problem appears to be the search for the mandoc.db if it is not found in the first entry of the MANPATH. Possibly using strncat instead of strncpy (or equivalent methods) when searching for the database?
If I swap the lines in man.conf , my man pages don't have the problem but the system ones do, so the pages are not the issue.

This should be reported at https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/ and not here.
Note: I did run makewhatis /boot/home/config/non-packaged/man, and /system/var/mandoc/boot/home/config/non-packaged/man/mandoc.db exists.
