Here's your bug report
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bison++/+bug/1607408

The reason there's a conflict is due to both bison and bison++ supplying 
/usr/bin/bison, which is a filename collision. AIUI, bison++ is based on 
a older version of bison so it makes sense that it has a /usr/bin/bison 
that's different from the one supplied by the bison package.

Unlikely to get traction with Ubuntu bug tracker since the package lives 
upstream in Debian and also conflicts with the bison package there too. 
Looking at its changelog it seems to be in maintenance mode and its 
development appears to have halted in the mid-90's.
