I have created a patch which compiles successfully, not sure if it works properly though.

Sun May 7 23:55:52 2023, original submission:

Dico uses old, obsolete PCRE library. This has been end of life for a while
now, and upstream do not intend to fix any further bugs in it. Accordingly, it
is planned to removed from Debian.

The newer PCRE2 library was first released in 2015, and has been in
Debian since stretch. Upstream's documentation for PCRE2 is available
here: https://pcre.org/current/doc/html/

Many large projects that use PCRE have made the switch now (e.g. git,
php); it does involve some work, but we are now at the stage where
old PCRE should not be used, particularly if it might ever be exposed to
untrusted input.
