You're getting one unexpected failure, from pcre-jitstack.  That package list 
doesn't mention which version of libpcre the build used; do you happen to know 
what it was?  I'm not seeing the problem on x86-64 Ubuntu 15.10, which uses 
libpcre3 2:8.35-7.1ubuntu1.  Most likely the problem you're seeing is due to 
some bug in libpcre (which we have no control over) or in the way we interface 
to libpcre (which we'd want to fix, at least by refusing to link to the older 
libpcre implementation).
