Bug#502312: libflickr-api-perl: Flickr API calls fail with 'API returned an invalid response' (line 111)

[Mark Broadbent]

Package: libflickr-api-perl
Version: 1.01-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable


When the execute_request function parses the XML response from Flickr, 
it calls
the function _find_tag which checks for tags of type 'element' whereas 
it should
be checking for type 'tag'.

The following diff fixes the problem:
