From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You could look at the package that's mentioned in the first line in Synaptic. The error message says it can't find a file. Fürst thing is do is check if that fike is actually there.

I might be totally wrong, but libpcre sounds like the regex library used by perl. Maybe his perl packages are broken?

Almost. It's a C library that mimics Perl's regular expression facilities. Fairly common dependency for any number of packages.

Apt says it's installed. Someone said something about reinstalling it but I couldn't find anything online about reinstalling.
