Versions 2.53 and 2.59 were declared obsolete and removed. Finally, using portupgrade to try to update my autoconf version yields the following results: ===> autoconf-2.61_2 is already installed You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly. If you really wish to overwrite the old port of devel/autoconf261 without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER" in your environment or the "make install" command line. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf261. *** Error code 1 Stop in /usr/ports/devel/autoconf261. ** Command failed [exit code 1]: /usr/bin/script -qa \ /tmp/portupgrade.31535.1 env UPGRADE_TOOL=portupgrade \ UPGRADE_PORT=autoconf-2.53_4 UPGRADE_PORT_VER=2.53_4 make reinstall ---> Restoring the old version I also get this: ** Port marked as IGNORE: x11-servers/xorg-server-snap: is outdated I'm not entirely sure what that's about. I imagine it wouldn't be safe to `make deinstall` all things autoconf, then try to `make install` autoconf. Am I wrong about that? Is there some other way to fix this?
