Package: lzop
Version: 1.01-4
Severity: normal

'man lzop', in examples for archives, suggests:

    % man lzop | grep -n -A 10 "extract multiple files"
    352:       archive mode: compress/extract multiple files into a single 
archive
    353-       file
    354-         create
    355-           lzop a.c b.c -o sources.lzo          -> create an archive
     ...
    360-         extract
     ...
    362-           lzop -x ../src/sources.lzo           -> extract to current 
directory

The example in line #362 does not "extract multiple files" from a
'.tar.lzo' archive.  It extracts a single '.tar' from a '.tar.lzo'.
The example, it's location, or the subheading in line #360 above
it, should be corrected.

Also the language in #352 is unclear.  It says "compress/extract
multiple files into a single archive".  The expression 'compress/extract'
seems to make the sentence mean two opposite things:

    1) compress multiple files into a single archive
    2) extract  multiple files into a single archive

...but '2)' is nonsensical.  Suggested rewordings:

    compress multiple files to a single archive, or extract them from one.
    compress/extract multiple files to/from a single archive

Hope this helps...
