You didn't give a ton of information, but from what it appears, perl
is appending to the existing .packlist file. This is different than
most install operations that replace an existing file. You can try the
ensure-writable option like this:

"ensure-writable": [
  "/app/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.28.1/x86_64-linux/auto/XML/SAX/Base/.packlist"
]

In the module where this is happening (assuming that's still the file
that's causing the issue).
