I got the same error. But not under woody.

Oh dear, thats not the woody package:

http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=flex&searchon=nam
+es&version=all&release=all

downgrade to version
flex 2.5.4a-24

I've found this information in the topic of the irc chat :-(

How to downgrade:
http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/ch-package.en.html

point 6.2.7
point 6.2.8

make sure that the stable dist is available in your sources.list

with

apt-get install -t <stable-dist> flex 
it should work.


greetings
