Package: libmime-perl
Version: 5.417-1
Severity: minor
The MIME::Decoder::Base64(3pm) man page says:
ยท When encoding, the input is read 45 bytes at a time: this ensures
that the output lines are not too long. We chose 45 since it is a
multiple of 3 and produces lines under 76 characters, as RFC-1521
specifies.
But RFC-1521 has been obsoleted by RFCs 2045 to 2049 and is not
available in the doc-rfc-std Debian package (not in other RFC Debian
packages either). The section on base64 encoding is now in RFC 2045,
hence the suggested change.
