Hello,

For the error "lookbehind assertion is not fixed length" or
"lookahead..." this will work again after deleting devel/pcre and
installing devel/pcre-utf8 instead, afterwards recompile php5-pcre and
other dependencies.
I have found that afterwards the pcre-functions in php work fine, this
also occures in some pear-libs, and hit my Horde installation...

For Wordpress with php5.2.1 I suggest you take also a look at
http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3886, which is a bug that shows up in
wordpress after upgrading to php5.2.1 for all web visitors behind
proxies (like squid).
