[Bug 1751006] Re: Journalctl compiled without pattern matching support

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

pcre2 library is not in Ubuntu Main, and therefore cannot be used, at
runtime, by such a core package as systemd.

once pcre2 is available in main, and thus has full Ubuntu Security
support, I will be able to enable pattern matching support.
