Description Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2011-08-02 20:22:34 UTC 
When sys-devel/bison-2.5 is emerged, it creates a symlink if /usr/bin/yacc does not already exist.

When the package is removed, a broken symlink is left behind.


Portage 2.1.10.9 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.5, glibc-2.13-r4, 2.6.39-gentoo-r3-libre x86_64)

All bison ebuilds do/omit that.
