Package: libpcre2-8-0
Version: 10.36-2
Severity: minor
On my system I have the 8/16/32 bit versions of the pcre2 library
installed.
The discription only tells me that this is the 8-bit runtime version.
But I have no idea why I/anyone would want a 8-bit runtime on my 64-bit
machine, where I'd normally expect (only) a 64-bit version, which
apparently, doesn't exist.
Can the long description field (f.e.) be expanded to explain *why* I or
anyone else would want to install the 8 bit version and not the 16 or 32
bit ones? The same goes for the 16 and 32 bit versions.
Right now, it only duplicates the info from the short description.
Cheers,
Diederik

So my example was incorrect.
In the previous reply you left out my whole goal of this bug report.
And now again, you cut out and thus not address the point I tried to make.
So it doesn't look like I'll achieve my goal wrt this bug, so it's better to
just close it.
