They aren't using gentoo, they're using Debian or Ubuntu. libpcre.so.3 |
| 17 |
is from Debian's package libpcre [1] and presumably it is packaged as |
| 18 |
libpcre.so.3. On Debian's package site it says it's version 8.35-3.3. |

If you mask >=dev-libs/libpcre-8.36 so portage installs 8.35 and |
| 21 |
manually create a symlink for libpcre.so.3 it should work without |
| 22 |
issues. Heck, a symlink could even work for 8.36, but you may wind up |
| 23 |
with a weird issue or maybe a segfault during usage. It's probably |
| 24 |
better to use the version in the Debian binaries so long as it doesn't |
| 25 |
mess up the packages on your system. |
