When one tries to emerge syslog-ng on a sparc there should be a dependency on a lexer tool such a flex because Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge syslog-ng without a lexer installed on the system 2. 3.
it depends on sys-devel/flex...
This is a invalid bug posted by someone(me) who was to fast with the mouse. The real problem was that emerge syslog-ng stopped with an error: yywrap() not found. I will investigate this further and in the meantime close this bug as invalid. Sorry for the inconvenience thomas
