Yes. It isn't required to flag the package. > RCA required for the configure step and > environment on your system. The issue got resolved. I was missing the other dependencies like flex, automake, which were mentioned in the prerequisites email for postgresql. But the error only mentioned Bison and not flex or other dependencies which were missing. Installing all the required dependencies and following the installation procedure, I was able to install and run postgresql on my qemu. Thank you Susarla Nikhilesh.
