I've been running into this issue today and I'm not sure what's going on.

I've read UPDATING and it says there will be autoconf and autoconf213 okay;

uname -a: FreeBSD blubee 12.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 12.0-CURRENT #0 r336196:

root at blubee:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC  amd64

I updated my ports to revision 475573.

deinstall cleaned all autotools but whenever I try to build a port
that requires some form of autotools it fails with something along the
lines of:

===>   ghc-8.4.3 depends on executable: sphinx-build - found

Installing automake-1.16.1...
pkg-static: automake-1.16.1 conflicts with automake-wrapper-20131203
(installs files into the same place).  Problematic file:
/usr/local/bin/aclocal


Do I need to nuke my ports directory and redownload it, or how can I fix this?
