I think quite a few distributions provide version-specific packages of
autoconf and friends because different sources demand different
versions.

    $ pkg / autoconf | g '^autoconf'
    autoconf-archive - The Autoconf Macro Archive
    autoconf - automatic configure script builder
    autoconf-doc - automatic configure script builder documentation
    autoconf2.13 - automatic configure script builder (obsolete version)
    autoconf2.59 - automatic configure script builder (obsolete version)
    autoconf2.64 - automatic configure script builder (obsolete version)
    $

Cheers, Ralph.
