I don't care which version of autoconf I use - frankly I'd like to get rid of "autoconf" in favor of "autoconf.2.5" but fink won't let me. Here is the entirety of the output when I run "fink update-all":
[]
The following 237 packages will be installed or updated:
amor ark arts arts-dev arts-shlibs atlantik bundle-kde-ssl cervisia dcoprss
[]
xmms xmms-bin xmms-shlibs xscreensaver
The following 103 additional packages will be installed:
akregator ant ant-optional atlantikdesigner autoconf automake1.7 automake1.8

To find out which package requires autoconf, I would do the following: Rename the autconf.info files to something else, like

cd /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/finkinfo/devel
mv autoconf.info autoconf.info_away
cd /sw/fink/dists/stable/main/finkinfo/devel
mv autoconf.info autoconf.info_away

Then repeat your update-all command and see who is complaining.

After doing a "fink selfupdate" to see if Daniel Macks's work on autoconf would just make the problem go away, I did as you suggest above. The result didn't look particularly helpful:
