Package: libpcre3
Version: 6.4-1.1
Severity: wishlist
It would be nice to see libpcre.so* installed in /lib so that the -P
option in grep can be enabled. See also bugs #238237, #237071, #338401,
#338500, (...?). According to these webpages, redhat installs
libpcre.so* in /lib since 2001, for the very same reason :

The attached patch works for me.
