Package: r-base-core Version: 2.14.1-1 Severity: normal This morning after an dist-upgrade on my wheezy/sid system(s) I noticed I could no longer access help data in R
> ?array /usr/lib/R/bin/exec/R: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/R/lib/libR.so: undefined symbol: _pcre_valid_utf8 This is related to the fact that libpcre3 got updated from 8.12-4 to 1:8.30-4 in wheezy, but R is still at 2.14 in wheezy. R 2.14 will not compile against, or run with, the new libpcre3 (which has renamed _pcre_valid_utf8). This will all fix up when 2.15 migrates to wheezy since that version supports pcre 8.30. So I guess this is really just for the record if others come looking. It might be worth updating the dependency to libpcre >= 8.30 on the Debain packages (though I've not studied the R source to determine if this is strictly required, the NEWS file merely mentions support for 8.30 being added). Cheers!
