Ok, here goes:

Distribution version: 0.8.0.rsync
[BuffyBox:/sw/etc] obrien# fink install autoconf

The package 'autoconf' will be installed.
The following package will be installed or updated:
autoconf
/sw/bin/dpkg-lockwait -i
/sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/devel/autoconf_2.13-4_darwin-powerpc.deb
Selecting previously deselected package autoconf.
dpkg: considering removing autoconf2.5 in favour of autoconf ...
dpkg: no, cannot remove autoconf2.5 (--auto-deconfigure will help):
automake1.8 depends on autoconf2.5 (>= 2.58-1)
OK, this is pretty clear now: There are packages that depend on
autoconf2.5, and as long as you have one of those installed, you cannot
install autoconf.
The question is why you want to install autoconf. Is there some Fink
package that wants this? I didn't find one. Or do you absolutely need it
for some other project? If you really need this old version of autoconf,
then you will have to remove all packages that depend on autoconf2.5 (or
autoconf2.54) first.
