Instead of just downloading the old .deb, add the old sources.list<br>
entry:<br>
<br>
deb <a href="http://deb.debian.org/debian/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://deb.debian.org/debian/</a> bookworm main<br>
<br>
so that apt can pick-up old dependencies from there.<br>

<br>
Yes, libpcre3 was dropped.<br>
