/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcre.so.2

libpcre.so.3 is missing.

I solved downgrading to 8.12-4 0

#> aptitude install libpcre3=8.12-4

Marc,

You nailed it. Thank you very much!

Evidently the March 21 update of libpcre is what is completely breaking 
systems.


Meelis,

Your bug might be reassigned to libpcre, since desktop-file-utils is 
evidently an innocent victim of the above package maintainer.
