4.3 FTL Update Fails

Use the teleporter and check whats in the zip file:

http://pi.hole/admin/settings.php?tab=teleporter

Oops, I believe it used to be a .zip.
Now its .tar.gz
To unzip:

tar -xzf pi-hole-teleporter_2019-05-20_02-19-15.tar.gz

There is either filesystem corruption or the file listed /usr/share/perl/5.24/Text/Tabs.pm has been modified. I don't think this is an easily solved issue and one that is not caused by the Pi-hole software or installer. You most likely will have to format and try again.
