• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Stephen Leaf 2005-07-05 07:46:55 UTC]

While merging a new system I get this error. There has been a forum note on   
this already but apparently no one has bothered to report it yet. there are   
around 13 reports of this on the forum.   
   
xorg-x11 depends on flex. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start building a new system 
2. emerge xorg-x11
