Bug#482487: jed-extra: pcre.sl does not exist

[Alan B. Clements]

Package: jed-extra
Version: 2.4.3-1
Severity: important


Several Jed plugins (e.g. Info browser, man page viewer) do not function
at all. They report the error:

Unable to load /usr/share/jed/jed-extra/pcre.slc

After googling the problem it appears that the maintainers declared it no
longer required and moved it to "jedpcre.sl". I attempted correct the
problem by symbolically linking prce.sl -> extra/jedpcre.sl so that the
files which require it could find it. Unfortunately it now causes a "Block
stack overflow"

NOTE: this problem does not exist in the stable version of the package
(2.2.1-1.etch.3)
