Interesting bug.

By default, blas official tarball doesn't have any manpage. They have
been included in our .orig.tar.gz

lapack & blas have some common functions. For example, the routine
xerbla (which is causing your issue here). There is only cosmetic
changes here.

Any way, only 2 manpages seems to be duplicate with blas:
lsame.f
xerbla.f
I am going to try to rename lsame to lsame-lapack & xerbla to
xerbla-lapack to see how it goes.
