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
