--- Comment #3 from Petr Pisar <ppisar(a)redhat.com> ---
What I found particularly surprising in this case was that there was
no
failover from the missing Archive::Tar to using /usr/bin/tar, which
Archive::Extract *is* able to find.
I tried it in Fedora 23. If tar is installed and perl-Archive-Tar is not
installed, Archive::Extract works for me. But it still warns "You do not have
'Archive::Tar' installed".
Upstream's documentation suggests that
Archive::Tar should be tried first and then fall back to tar.
Yes, its funny module. Archive::Tar itself states that /usr/bin/tar is faster,
so people concern about performance should use that.
Due to the warning I will set dependency on perl(Archive::Tar) unconditionally.
