Details:

Hi,

Octave currently relies on the old (and mostly unmaintained) PCRE library.

Please consider switching it to the new PCRE2 library. Debian is aiming at
removing the old PCRE library from its next release.

For more background, see:

Best,

Sébastien Villemot
Co-maintainer of Octave in Debian
