Dear maintainer(s),

Dose [1] is reporting a build issue with your package, it's missing a
build dependency. Obviously your build dependencies shouldn't be
removed from testing, but unfortunately there are multiple scenarios
where that can happen nevertheless. To uphold our social contract,
Debian requires that packages can be rebuild from source in the suite
we are shipping them, so currently this is a serious issue with your
package in testing.

We removed pcre3 from testing because of several RC bugs and pcre3 will 
not come back to testing. Please migrate your package away from pcre3. 
If you still need pcre support it (the packages don't seem to have a 
Depends on the libraries) there's pcre2, the pcre3 successor.

Paul

Note: this bug report was sent after some quick manual checks using a
template. Please reach out to me if you believe I made a mistake in my
