*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

pcre3 is the **older** version. pcre2 is the newer version.

nux appears to basically be the last thing in Ubuntu keeping pcre3 in
Ubuntu. pcre3 is a security-sensitive library and is no longer
maintained upstream. pcre2 is enough different from pcre3 that it is
complicated to backport security fixes.

pcre3 is basically only used in Nux/Validator.cpp

** Affects: nux (Ubuntu)
     Importance: High
         Status: Triaged
