[Zak B. Elep]

Running Kubuntu Gutsy with the following rdepends on libpcre3 installed:

ii  kchmviewer       3.1.2-0ubuntu1                     CHM viewer for KDE
ii  kdelibs4c2a      4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.1                 core libraries and binaries for all KDE appl
ii  kdelibs4c2a      4:3.5.8-0ubuntu3.1                 core libraries and binaries for all KDE appl

ii  kmobiletools     0.4.3.3-0ubuntu1                   KDE application for controlling your mobile
ii  kontact          4:3.5.7enterprise20070926-0ubuntu2 KDE pim application
ii  kopete           4:3.5.8-0ubuntu2                   instant messenger for KDE
ii  kopete-otr       0.6-0ubuntu1                       Off-The-Record encryption for Kopete
ii  ktorrent         2.2.1-0ubuntu3                     BitTorrent client for KDE
ii  nmap             4.20-2                             The Network Mapper
ii  wireshark-common 0.99.6rel-3                        network traffic analyser (common files)

The only couple of things that are somewhat odd since my update to the
proposed pcre3 is that ktorrent would seem to eat a lot more processing
than usual, giving the appearance of a hanged app; the same in kopete
(although it happens less, but then again I also use that package less
than the former.)  But then again, they may also be issues unrelated to
this.
