Guys, I discovered this while attempting to upgrade to KDE 3.2.0 on my FreeBSD 4.9-REL box last night. Unfortunately, kdevelop 3 won't build because of a problem with autoconf. When I first started the upgrade, I apparently had 2.53_1 installed, so it complained that it needs 2.54 or later.
I tried manually updating autoconf alone, and portupgrade went through the motions, but when it finished, 2.53_1 was still there and 2.57_1 wasn't. I then tried manually deinstalling 2.53_1, and manually installing 2.57_1. This seemed to work, but now I don't have an autoconf anywhere! (the program isn't on the disk- I even tried find / -name autoconf) Now, here's the interesting part. I dig around and find that the binary IS on the hard disk, but all of the autoconf binaries have a '257' suffix. (ie autoconf257) I sym-link all of the binaries to their generic names, and things seem to be working? So, at the moment, I have the following, and things seem to be working. alexandria# ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep 257 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11 Feb 7 12:15 autoconf -> autoconf257 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7684 Feb 2 23:43 autoconf257 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Feb 7 12:16 autoheader -> autoheader257 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7959 Feb 2 23:43 autoheader257 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11 Feb 7 12:19 autom4te -> autom4te257 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 33557 Feb 2 23:43 autom4te257 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Feb 7 12:19 autoreconf -> autoreconf257 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 17612 Feb 2 23:43 autoreconf257 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11 Feb 7 12:19 autoscan -> autoscan257 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16060 Feb 2 23:43 autoscan257 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 13 Feb 7 12:19 autoupdate -> autoupdate257 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 32888 Feb 2 23:43 autoupdate257 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 10 Feb 7 12:19 ifnames -> ifnames257 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3607 Feb 2 23:43 ifnames257 Is this a bug, or did I screw up something?
