[Bug 1573353] Re: package libpcre3:amd64 1:8.31-2ubuntu2.2 failed to install/upgrade: package libpcre3:amd64 is not ready for configuration cannot configure (current status `half-installed')

[Marc Deslauriers]

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

** Information type changed from Private Security to Public
