Bug#359232: libcrypt-cbc-perl security update broken.

Package: libcrypt-cbc-perl
Severity: grave
Version: 2.12-1sarge1

The security update of libcrypt-cbc-perl to 2.12-1sarge1 causes
breakage; when the upgrade is applied I see the following errors:

Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/perl5/Crypt/CBC.pm line 240, <GEN0> line 4.
Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/share/perl5/Crypt/CBC.pm line 240, <GEN0> line 4.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Crypt/CBC.pm line 171, <GEN0> line 4.

This is using the module with libopensrs-perl (backported to sarge) and
causes the authentication to OpenSRS to fail.  Downgrading to 2.12-1
fixes things.

I'll try to do some more investigation later if I have time; apologies
for the limited details here.
