What I did was "apt-get -b source autoconf" and then install the freshly
made .deb. It had dependancies on other packages, but to build those I
had to upgrade lots of other packages. So in the end I did a force
remove of the old autoconf package and just installed from the source
that the apt-get left behind. So now autoconf is in /usr/local/bin.
Building guile works fine, but now I have an unmet dependancy (automake
needs autoconf installed). :(
