automake problem

hi

I have on my freeBSD 7.3 Release (Upgrade from 7.0) the following problem:
Code: 
# pkg_version -IvL '='
automake-1.5_6,1                    !   Comparison failed
automake-1.6.3_2                    !   Comparison failed
automake-1.7.9_3                    !   Comparison failed
automake-1.8.5_4                    !   Comparison failed
Howto solve it?
 
What the "comparison failed" means is that there is no port to compare to the installed version. In other words, they're obsolete and can be pkg_deleted.

The most economical method of dealing with the automake/autoconf stuff is to pkg_delete(1) it. If some other package/port needs it, it will suck in the version and such that it needs. That is unless you actually develop with autoconf/automake, in which case I am so very sorry.

Next time, also read /usr/ports/UPDATING, please.

I've done now what you suggested according to::
Code:

  AFFECTS: autotools
  AUTHOR: ade@FreeBSD.org

  Extensive reworking of the autotools ports has occurred, putting them in
  the canonical locations, along with a suitable wrapper port to make
  developing autotools-using code (as opposed to just building ports)
  considerably easier.

  Upgrade path is as follows for portupgrade:

    1. portupgrade -f 'autoconf*' 'automake*'
    2. cd /usr/ports/devel/autotools; make install
    3. portupgrade -a

but now I'm getting this:
Code: 
# pkg_info | grep automake
automake-1.10.3     GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.10)
automake-1.11.1     GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.11)
automake-1.4.6_6    GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.4)
automake-1.9.6_4    GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.9)
automake-wrapper-20071109 Wrapper script for GNU automake

That's from 2007! You only need to go back in UPDATING to the last time you updated ports. The 20100915 entry is probably what was being suggested.
