Why is it looking in /usr/local/man/man8 for a man5 manual page?
I have seen this before.

    

That was a defect created when the man page for amanda.conf(5)
was split from amanda(8).  It was corrected in a later release.
As I recall it was a very simple editing correction to the makefile(s)
to do the installation.  Otherwise manually install the manpages.
