Description bay 2011-08-16 08:13:20 UTC

I propose to add a m4 package as a runtime dependency of flex.

The m4 package used by flex in runtime. This will be useful for people who
install flex from binary package, in that case DEPEND is not checked, only
RDEPEND.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
# flex  -oemp_ematch.lex.c emp_ematch.l
# mv /usr/bin/m4 /usr/bin/m4_old
# flex  -oemp_ematch.lex.c emp_ematch.l
flex: fatal internal error, exec failed



Expected Results:
