Hey,

when I try a recompiliation of ModemManager, the tests are failing with:

  /test_ccwa_response:
  **
  ERROR:test-modem-helpers.c:4204:common_test_ccwa_response: assertion
  failed: (result)
  FAIL

This bug is also reported upstream
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/issues/601

It seems like the issue is that with new glibc >= 2.73.2 PCRE1 is
replaced with PCRE2. There is also a first patch for it, but this does
not fix this issue completly.

I initally wanted to fix my breakage of my UMTS stick failing 
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mobile-broadband/ModemManager/-/issues/621
I will not open a second bug report as the bugfix is don with same MR.

regards,

hefee
