Hi,

Mariadb FTBFS with pcre 10.47 (tested in debusine[0]), because upstream 
has improved the error reporting (for human consumption) and the mariadb 
test is overly brittle about that:

331s -ERROR 42000: Regex error 'unrecognized character follows \ at 
offset 2'
331s +ERROR 42000: Regex error 'unrecognized character follows \ at 
offset 3'

I think the easiest thing for Debian is simply to disable that test, but 
naturally mariadb upstream might want to relax it a bit (so it'd work 
against pcre2 <=10.46 and >=10.47.

Regards,

Matthew
