cdrkit used to install:
/usr/share/man/man1/mkisofs.1.bz2 -> /usr/share/man/man1/genisoimage.1.bz2

cdrtools installs:
/usr/share/man/man8/mkisofs.8.bz2

I suspect cdrkit did not clean up after itself properly, and man is finding 
the cdrkit man page in man1 first.

Solution to your problem:
Simply delete the symlink in man1 and the thing it points to
