Package: libpcre2-8-0
Version: 10.42-1
Severity: critical
Since libpcre2-8-0 was moved to /usr, every update kills my whole system
as nearly everything is depending on that library.
Every other library can be managed via dpkg-divert but not libpcre2-8-0.
So after every update, my system is unusable and unbootable until I boot
a rescue system and manually move everything from
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre2-8.so* to /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/.
Please move libpcre2-8-0 back to /lib where it belongs to.

Dear Klaus,
The Debian project has decided to remove support for not-usr-merged
systems starting with the forthcoming Bookworm release (this was
recently re-affirmed by the Technical Committee in #914897).
As the pcre2 maintainer, I cannot comply with your request, as that
would put the pcre2 packages in breach of Debian policy. So I am going
to close this bug (again); if you want to pursue your problem via the
BTS, please reassign it to a more suitable place (maybe policy or general).
You are, of course, welcome to try and change this settled policy
decision, but I must advise you that at this point you are very unlikely
to succeed. I think you would have to get a GR to override the Technical
Committee decision(s) on /usr-merge. If you wanted to do that,
debian-devel would be the place to try and establish consensus.
I regret that I am unable to be of more assistance.
Regards,
Matthew
