Then this must be because of a wrong shlibs version in libpcre3. Even if there are no added symbols between 6.7 and 7.2, that doesn't mean the ABI hasn't changed. An ABI is not simply a list of symbols and prototypes, it is also about the *semantics* of the implementation. If the semantics have changed, you must bump the shlibs. And the very fact that glib does work with the older version means the semantics have changed. Cheers, -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
