Subject: [gentoo-user] temporarily eliminating /usr/bin/yacc (safe?)

Message-Id: yu9r5pvp2s4.fsf@nyu.edu
1 According to http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=239422
2 merging sys-apps/pcmciautils requires yacc (not just bison) installed.
3
4 I have bison installed and the
5 /usr/bin/yacc --> /usr/bin/yacc.bison
6 link created by the bison ebuild prevents sys-devel/yacc from merging.

8 Does the following procedure sound safe?
9
10 1. quickpkg bison (in case of disaster)
11 2. rm /usr/bin/yacc
12 3. emerge yacc
13 4. emerge pcmciautils
14 5. emerge --unmerge yacc
15 6. emerge bison
