The packages promise method for pip fails with error: ``` error: Regular expression error: 'invalid range in character class' in expression '^([[:alnum:]-_]+\s\([\d.]+\))' (offset: 13) ``` This is probably a regression after upgrading from PCRE to PCRE2. The regex engine complains about the hyphen, which has a special meaning within the square brackets. The bug is easily fixed by escaping the hyphen. Ticket: ENT-13667 Changelog: Title Signed-off-by: Lars Erik Wik <lars.erik.wik@northern.tech> (cherry picked from commit 8871aef)
