>Description:
	 When updating autoconf where doing so would also update automake, update gets stuck in a loop:

===> Validating dependencies for automake-1.4.5nb1
=> Checksum OK for automake-1.4-p5.tar.gz.
===> real-extract [automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1, automake-1.4.5nb1] ===> Extracting for automake-1.4.5nb1

>How-To-Repeat:
	 (with older autoconf and automake)
cd /usr/pkgsrc/devel/autoconf && make update
>Fix:
	 make update in /usr/pkgsrc/devel/automake first.
