Bug#338700: libcpre3: grep fails on boot when /usr/lib on different partition from /lib

[David Morris]

Package: libcpre3
Version: libpcre3
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

My /usr treeis on a different disc partition than the boot partition / 
So when grep is trying to run to start and set up the system it cannot 
find libpcre.so.3 so most of the system fails. I was able to log on via 
the console, manually mount the file systems, then copy the file to 
/lib. That enabled me to normally reboot the system with everything 
started up as set up.

I was able to find the same error on Adamantix
