A quick grep through the unstable tree shows that a lot of packages depend on flex-devel, and some conflict with the old flex. A few patches might even assume the use of /usr/bin/flex, but I didn't check that very thoroughly. IMHO, in the long run, it would be good to get maintainers to see if their packages build properly with the new flex, but for now, it might be best to just add a "BuildConflicts: flex (<= 1:2.5.33-1) field to wine to ensure that things will build automatically. > Damian > > Kevin Horton wrote: >> wine-1.1.36 does not build for me on OS X 10.6 Intel if Fink's flex >> is >> installed. >> >> checking for flex... flex >> checking whether flex is recent enough... no >> configure: error: Your flex version is too old.
