I came to the same conclusion before seeing this email, but figured I'd
see if anyone had said something about it.  pkg_cutleaves seemed to
indicate it was a leave package with no dependencies, and autoconf
--version indicates that the currently installed/used version is 2.6.1,
which of course would mean that the old version is just wedged on
uninstall.

. . . so thanks for confirming what I've surmised.  I'll feel a lot
better about removing it now.

It's simpler then that:
pkg_delete -f autoconf-2.5[39]*

Chad,

Had the same thought's here - don't know for certain that it's the right
thing to do, but I did:

cd /usr/ports/devel/autoconf261
make deinstall
make reinstall

This seemed to remove the older versions of autoconf.

Following that a portupgrade -av built the few other ports that had been
skipped previously.

Cheers,

Barry
