Bug#538610: perl: Archive::Tar / Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at .../RawInflate.pm line 64.

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: perl
Version: 5.10.0-24
Severity: normal

Archive::Tar now fails on all tar archives (compressed or not), with
the following error:

Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at /usr/lib/perl/5.10/IO/Uncompress/RawInflate.pm line 64.

For instance, try with the following script, and provide a .tar,
.tar.gz or .tar.bz2 file as the only argument.

----------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env perl

use Archive::Tar;
my $tar = Archive::Tar->new;
my $file = shift;
-r $file or die "$!\n";
$tar->read($file);
