           Summary: mail/sqwebmail: Remove unneeded dependency on
                    devel/pcre
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me

sqwebmail Changelog indicates PCRE dependency was switched to PCRE2 since
v6.0.7.

devel/pcre is EOL and appears in daily security reports under "Checking for
packages with security vulnerabilities:"

On a mail system that has 300+ ports installed including courier-imap and
maildrop sqwebmail is the only port shown as requiring devel/pcre.

sqwebmail appears to build successfully without LIB_DEPENDS pcre.so:devel/pcre.
No testing has yet been conducted beyond that.
