Hi
For the record, Dirk (after a couple of false starts and admirable
persistance!) has got this to work for me.
So on Ubuntu 14.04, adding Dirk's PPA, followed by apt-get update pulls
down a backport for libpcre3.
Thanks Dirk!
Paul

Sebastian, Paul,
Ubuntu 14.04 builds (for Linux 32 and 64 bit, ie i386 and amd64) of the (most
current) pcre package (ie 8.35-7) for Ubuntu are now in my PPA at
https://launchpad.net/~edd/+archive/ubuntu/misc/+packages
These should work. You can add this PPA as I do in some Travis runs via
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:edd/misc
and then just do
apt-get update; apt-get install libpcre3-dev
which should do the trick -- but I haven't tested. Contact me off-list if
you fail.
Oh, and I guess we should have had this whole thread over on r-sig-debian.
Best, Dirk
