librarian stopped working with latest minitar v1 release

[der-eismann]

It turns out that the puppet_forge gem has a dependency on minitar without a version requirement on it (https://github.com/puppetlabs/forge-ruby/blob/main/puppet_forge.gemspec#L26) and is still using the old archive/tar/minitar namespace. However a few days ago minitar had it's v1 major release, abandoning the old namespace, causing issues with librarian:

$ librarian-puppet install --clean

I opened puppetlabs/forge-ruby#119 to fix this temporarily, however librarian isn't even using forge-ruby v5 and I'm not sure if/when this change will land. Maybe this helps someone else or somebody at puppet can speed things up a bit, it feels like the whole ecosystem is pretty outdated unfortunately.

My workaround so far:

gem install --no-document librarian-puppet -v '~> 5'
gem uninstall minitar -I
gem install --no-document minitar -v '0.12'

This was merged and released

There was 4bf2503 (which has a wrong summary). Let's create a new release that includes it.
