Mark, please don't use that patch. The libpcre3 package ships both a C
library and a C++ library, and only the C++ one is affected by this
libstdc++ change.
That's why I haven't done anything about this yet.
Given the high number of libpcre3 reverse
dependencies (116),
Very few of which use the C++ library, of course.
it's very unadvisable to rename the whole package.
The right course of action would be to ship the C++ library in a
separate package, so that in can be independently renamed in further
transitions.
So I should put the C++ library in a new package, and no longer include
it in the libpcre3 package. What should I do about dependencies to get a
smooth upgrade path? Obviously people installing new versions of things
that use the C++ library will get the new package; until they do isn't
there a danger that they will install the new libpcre3 and things will
stop working?
Mark, please let us know if you'll be able to fix this bug yourself in
the next days, so that other libraries depending on libpcre3 can
transition themselves.
I should have some time at the weekend.
