Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: autoconf
This came up during the last dist-upgrade in Jaunty. An attempt to
manually install the package from cache fails like this:
s dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/autoconf_2.63-2ubuntu1_all.deb

Looks like a conflict between autoconf and autoconf2.13:
apt-cache policy autoconf

As expected, removing autoconf2.13 removes the conflict and makes it
possible to install autoconf
