Hello Arne, or anyone else affected,

Accepted pcre3 into trusty-proposed. The package will build now and be

hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See

enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag
from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the
bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to
verification-failed.  In either case, details of your testing will help
us make a better decision.

Bug description:
  The 14.04/15.04 pcre version doesn't match some inputs with possessive
  qualfiers:

  $ echo '"a"'|pcregrep '("([^b"]*+(b.)?)*+")*+'
  $

  Earlier versions (10.04, 12.04):
  $ echo '"a"'|pcregrep '("([^b"]*+(b.)?)*+")*+'
  "a"
  $

  this is fixed with the following upstream commit (that applies cleanly
  to the 15.04 pcre):
