This is not a typo. I coded names according to International Tables 1992,
and bold (main) name for space group is C 2/m. There are 6 settings for this
space group, 3 for unique axis b: C 12/m1, A 12/m1, I 12m/1 and
3 settings for axis c: A 112/m, B 112/m, I 112/m.
Thus what is printed: bold name, unique axis c,
and cell choice 2 is equivalent to B 112/m.
This is as far as I can understand.

Best regards,
Bogdan
