More data points: Fedora 20 and OS/X work both with pcre-8.33, so I conclude this is a problem specific to some Debian-specific patch. I expect to push that patch as-is and defer to a separate commit (or maybe even skip altogether) any portability hack that might warn or disable PCRE support when detecting the broken library. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
