So there's an issue with that tarball caused by a renamed file that
prevents us from generating a proper distcheck tarball for
pan.rebelbase.com. 

We'll probably have to upload the GitLab one anyway to release archives as
it's all we have but FYI. 

Meanwhile I've fixed this issue and enforced running make distcheck in the
GitLab CI, so this doesn't happen again in the future:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pan/-/commit/d20d27dd6540757e49326ed9a5c6a244a62250c0

The next Pan version should have all of this fixed. Distributors, sorry for
the inconvenience.

Cheers,
