| Subject: | backpan-init should not die if broken tarballs exist at backpan |
This happens when trying to import Encode using "git backpan-init
Encode" (apologies for the non-English locale, the messages just say
that the tar file is broken):
opening backpan index

In fact, the backpan file
http://backpan.perl.org/authors/id/D/DA/DANKOGAI/Encode-2.28.tar.gz is
broken: it's HTML, not a tarball. I suspect that there will be here and
then broken distribution tarballs on backpan and are impossible to be
removed by the author, so it would be nice if backpan-init could ignore
tarballs automatically.
