Now that perl regular expression support is included in the
grep package, it should depend on pcre to install the
necessary libraries - otherwise it won't work at all with
errors loading shared libraries.
Apparently (according to the forum thread linked below) this can even prevent machines from booting. http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=152384#152384 |

... hold on, in my haste I didn't even notice that the package
does, appropriately, depend on pcre. -.- Wonder why grep can't
find the library at boot-time then?
It's because pcre is in /usr while grep is in /, which breaks on
systems that have /usr mounted on a separate partition.
JGC - thanks, I just confirmed this with enderst via IRC - his
/usr is on a seperate partition from his / and that seems to be
what's causing the problem.
