Description

db depends on uudeview for uudecode

sharutils provides uudecode, but uudeview is not listed in providers

db compiles correctly with sharutils

should db depend UUDECODE and uudeview provide UUDECODE?

    Revert "archive/uudeview: now provides UUDECODE" 

    This reverts commit 3cf28eff16a6723af981cae7d1da4777208b8925.

    uudeview's uudecode isn't possible to use to cast lilo
    btw, why we have these links creation in INSTALL, not by upstream

    ln  -sf  uudeview    ${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr/bin/uudecode               &&
    ln  -sf  uuenview    ${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr/bin/uuencode               &&
    ln  -sf  uudeview.1  ${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr/share/man/man1/uudecode.1  &&
    ln  -sf  uuenview.1  ${INSTALL_ROOT}/usr/share/man/man1/uuencode.1
