Package: libpcre3
Version: 7.3-1
Severity: serious
Seen on IRC:
[20:24] I just installed debian's "experimental" version, which is 1.7.12,
on a computer that has "unstable" versions of other packages. gnumeric
opened an excel spread sheet OK, but crashed while trying to open a native
.gnumeric spread sheet with the following error messages:
[20:24] (gnumeric:14904): Gtk-WARNING **: Unknown paper size Letter
[20:24] gnumeric: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgoffice-0.5.so.5:
undefined symbol: pcre_compile2
[20:24] Advice?
[20:48] I fixed it by upgrading the "libpcre3" package from version 4.5-1.1
to 7.3-1.
And indeed /var/lib/dpkg/info/libpcre3.shlibs contains
libpcre 3 libpcre3 (>= 4.5)
but according to /usr/share/doc/libpcre3/changelog.gz, pcre_compile2 was
only added in version 6.0. The shlibs information in this package needs to
be tightened, at least to (>= 6.0).
