Bother.

RIght, have added a replaces to perl.

Cloning this bug to libarchive-tar-perl to get the divert added.

Archive::Tar folks: in short, perl 5.10.0 now contains this module. 

While I can, and have added replaces for versions of libarchive-tar-perl
up to and including 1.38-2, you will have to add diversions for ptar and
ptardiff (or not include them) in later versions to avoid breaking perl
upgrades.
