Fatal error: Cannot use result of built-in function in write context in libraries/CBLib/CB/Legacy/Archive_Tar.php on line 687

I'm trying to update my CB from 2.0.15 to 2.1.3 and the above error message appears. Line 687 says:

$v_att_list = & func_get_args();

I also tried by downloading the latest CB pkg_communitybuilder_2.1.3+build.2018.02.06.22.14.01.d2dadfe0d.zip and it fails, but all it can tell me in the log is a 500 error - I assume it is the same error.

Can you advise please if I should do something to enable the update to proceed?

Joomla 3.8.5 on Php 7.2.1

*Update : I changed the php version to 5.6.33 and the update worked ok. So the problem seems to be with the code when it runs on php 7.2.1

Latest CB release is compatible with PHP 7.2, but the release you were using was not. Once updated change back to PHP 7.2 and you should be fine.
