pcre.org does not contribute a libpcre2.pc. I would suggest to test pkg-config --exists libpcre2-posix and to keep a fallback to libpcre.pc for systems without pcre2. As epgsearch uses only extended regular expressions, it shouldn't matter anyhow - but with the suggested changes it will be future-proof
