[Bug 1681016] [NEW] package libpcrecpp0v5:amd64 2:8.38-3.1 failed to install/upgrade: package libpcrecpp0v5:amd64 is already installed and configured

[Omid Vaziri]

Public bug reported:

I had started trying to install ElectricSheep using this command:
sudo apt-get install subversion autoconf libtool libgtk2.0-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev liblua5.1-0-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libxml2-dev libjpeg8-dev libgtop2-dev libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-thread-dev libtinyxml-dev freeglut3-dev glee-dev

Partway through, I cancelled the installation as I'd decided I didn't
want to install it that way, and ran the same program but using sudo
apt-get remove instead. As soon as this completed, it gave me the error
summary. Not sure if critical, or how to fix or if there's anything to
even fix.
