When installing net-im/sim-0.8 (Qt 3.1.0, KDE 3.0.4) flex-2.5.23 breaks its compilation (gcc-3.2.1). flex-2.5.4a-r5 works fine.
Could you please add the full error message plz?
Ditto.
this may be similar to bug #11822

Based on bug #11822 and this one, I suggest we drop flex back to 2.5.4a. I looked at the other distributions trying to find the odd patch. but they all seem to be using 2.5.4a. Does this sound good?
Its in the unstable profile, and works good with most things, but if you want to mask it in package.mask .. fine by me.
masked >=2.5.23
