> • In fact, Qt in Ubuntu 17.10 main is _already using_ (a bundled copy of) PCRE2! Go look at the build log.
We just merged a Qt upload from Debian where it was unbundled, and now qtbase is uninstallable because pcre2 is in universe.
Of course we can switch back to the bundled version, but I don’t see how this can be better than just approving this MIR. Any progress on this, now that the transition tracker exists?
