Details

Description:
It seems like the /usr/lib/perl5/5.36/vendor_perl/auto/Cyrus/IMAP/IMAP.so shared object, which is used by the cyradm administration tool, is missing linking against the pcre2 library and as a result causes invocations of cyradm to error out as follows:
"""

Additional info:

* link to upstream bug report, if any:

- !!! FEDORA PATCH WHICH SOLVES THE ISSUE !!! : https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/cyrus-imapd/blob/rawhide/f/patch-cyrus-perl-linking
--> Note that this patch is for the old pcre library, since Arch is looking forward to use pcre2 this should be taken into account. (We probably should use "-lpcre2-posix" instead)

Steps to reproduce:
Install cyrus-imapd from community-testing, execute cyradm, the error message mentioned above pops out.

--> !!! I've personally verified that applying the patch Fedora is using actually solves the issue! !!!
This task depends upon

@bgiovanni can you please try building with the attached patch which is based on the Fedora one but uses the variable LIB_REGEX, so it should work with or without the pcre2 patch and also with new pcre2 PR [1].

@loqs I can confirm that the issue doesn't appear if I build Cyrus from master (after minor tweaking of the PKGBUILD) with both your patch and the the PCRE2 patch you linked (#4545).
cyradm is seemingly running OK.
