Probably not anything. I was going to add some thoughts until
Greg stepped in. He's probably right. If and when you post to
freebsd-questions, useful information would include, _in this
case_:
- Reiteration that it is a 'package' that you are trying to
install, and not a 'port'. I suspect it's the latter since I can
see little reason why almost any of the package would need any of
the auto-tools as dependancies. I've been wrong before, however,
and I do very little with packages.
- The port/package you are having trouble with.
- The version of the OS, and maybe other info if it wasn't a
fresh install.
- Whether your ports tree has ever been updated via 'cvsup' or
some other mechanism, and if so, when.
This strikes me as a bit of an unusual problem, frankly, for
reasons I won't go into here. Knowing the above info may be of
use to others who might be aware of such an issue at a certain
point in the history of the ports tree.
Thanks,
- Tom
