Bug#1070195: glib2.0: test failure with pcre2/10.43: asserts that a variable-length lookbehind is an error

Thanks for looking into this! I'm happy to hold off on a pcre2 upload to unstable until this has happened. Regards, Matthew
Bug#1070195: glib2.0: test failure with pcre2/10.43: asserts that a variable-length lookbehind is an error
Source: glib2.0 Version: 2.78.4-7 Severity: important Tags: ftbfs trixie sid patch upstream fixed-upstream Forwarded: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/3945 X-Debbugs-Cc: Matthew Vernon Control: fixed -1 2.80.0-7 GLib contains GRegex, an API wrapper around pcre2 (or pcre in older GLib branches). Because variable-length lookbehind was historically not allowed, its test suite includes a test that asserts that these two regexes: (?= 10.43) isn't urgent, please don't upload it to unstable until after this glib2.0 bug has been fixed (and ideally also migrated to testing). Unfortunately my understanding of the time64 situation is that further package migrations are stalled because they cause the testing migration scripts to crash (see #1070121). I would prefer to avoid significant non-urgent changes in unstable until more of the time64 migration can be forced through by the release team. Thanks, smcv
