Package: sharutils
Version: 1:4.14-2
Severity: minor

uuencode(5) manpage first contains this information:

" The base64 option says the file  has  been encoded using base64.
  The encoded option says the output file *name* has been base64 encoded.
  It is never encoded  with traditional uuencoding."


but then several lines later gives the following example, in which the `never' 
from the last of the above-quoted sentences actually happens:

"        begin-encoded 644 5$]$3P``
       This  introduces  an  encoded  file  named, TODO with that name
       encoded using uuencoding."



Another issue is that the `The encoded option says...' sentence most probably
should be `The base64-encoded option says...'.

Regards,
robert
