Description David Owen 2011-11-12 18:49:03 UTC
Attempting to build ming on a system that has no bison/yacc/&c, the ebuild will fail during package configuration, complaining that bison or yacc are required.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -Cav bison
2. emerge -av1 ming, notice that bison is not pulled in as a dependency
3. Continue with the build
Actual Results:  
configure displays an error stating that bison/yacc is required

Expected Results:  
ming builds without error

To workaround, first `emerge -av1 bison` then continue with your previous emerge command that attempted to build ming.
