commit 2601a5c0e5304ddb0b9b1d608b5b12ce04dc3a90
Author: Lars Wendler <polynomial-c@gentoo.org>
Date:   Fri Dec 30 22:18:40 2016

    sys-devel/flex: Bump to version 2.6.3

    Removed completely broken 2.6.2 version.

    Package-Manager: Portage-2.3.3, Repoman-2.3.1


Unfortunately flex-2.6.3 still breaks wine-1.9.20 (dunno about later versions as wine maintainers are a bunch of slackers) so I keep the package.mask for >=sys-devel/flex-2.6.2 in place.

I think I know what is wrong with wine.  I'll check the newest upstream version and supply a patch for 1.9.20 within 48 hours.
