    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The strings package currently relies on the old (and mostly unmaintained) PCRE
library.

The patch attached to this bug report migrates the code in src/pcregex.cc to
the new PCRE2 library.

Debian is aiming at removing the old PCRE library from its next release. For
