Thanks for the patch. Could you please prepare a debdiff for trusty and
wily suitable for sponsoring as an SRU?

Thanks!

Bug description:
  The 14.04/15.04 pcre version doesn't match some inputs with possessive
  qualfiers:

  $ echo '"a"'|pcregrep '("([^b"]*+(b.)?)*+")*+'
  $

  Earlier versions (10.04, 12.04):
  $ echo '"a"'|pcregrep '("([^b"]*+(b.)?)*+")*+'
  "a"
  $

  this is fixed with the following upstream commit (that applies cleanly
  to the 15.04 pcre):
