Hi
Under certain conditiion File::Tail might trigger a
| Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at
/usr/share/perl5/File/Tail.pm line 391.
Upstream seems abandoned since 2015, but the same issue was reported
long time ago as well downstream in Fedora/RedHat (I have no minimal
reproducer available).
Cf. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1283764

We could do the same for our packaging.
