Title:
  whereis command output for -M and -B options is inversed

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.04

  using whereis command I came across the following situation

  if I type '-M' option I get binaries result,
  if I type '-B' option I get manual results,

  command               : whereis -M /usr -f apt-get

  expected output : /usr/share/man/man8/apt-get.8.gz

  real output            : /usr/bin/apt-get /usr/bin/X11/apt-get

  
  command               : whereis -B /usr -f apt-get

  expected output : /usr/bin/apt-get /usr/bin/X11/apt-get

  real output            : /usr/share/man/man8/apt-get.8.gz
