cloc 1.60 fails with fatal error "Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/bin/cloc line 1498."

Simply using cloc 1.60 fails with the following error "Can't use an undefined value as an ARRAY reference at /usr/bin/cloc line 1498." Upon searching, I've noticed this is an issue other users are having (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802750), and also confirmed that it's fixed in the latest stable build of cloc (http://cloc.sourceforge.net/#Stable).

As-of now, I can't run a very basic cloc command: `cloc ~/path/to/source`, as it fails with the above error. Any chance we can see a package update to the latest stable build?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I personally do not see this bug on disco (19.04).

According to the Debian bug this should be fixed in bionic (18.04 LTS) and later versions. Looks like only xenial is affected.
