Hello,

I managed to miss the advice everyone else seems to have had about autotools 
cleanup: how do I go about sorting this out? Here's the output of pkgdb -F:

################################################################

--->  Checking the package registry database
Stale origin: 'devel/autoconf257': perhaps moved or obsoleted.
-> The port 'devel/autoconf257' was removed on 2004-07-01 because:
 "autotools cleanup"
-> Hint:  autoconf-2.57_1 is required by the following package(s):
 kde-3.2.1_1
 kdevelop-3.0.2
 automake-1.7.5_1
-> Hint: checking for overwritten files...
 -> No files installed by autoconf-2.57_1 have been overwritten by other 
packages.
Deinstall autoconf-2.57_1 ? [no]
 Stale origin: 'devel/automake17': perhaps moved or obsoleted.

Deinstall automake-1.7.5_1 ? [no]
 Duplicated origin: delete - autoconf-2.57_1 automake-1.7.5_1
Unregister any of them? [no]

And I'm getting messages along the same lines whenever I upgrade anything, 
stuff like "this port is deprecated, you may wish to reconsider installing 
it) referring to libtool, automake or autoconf.

Any help gratefully received!

Cheers,
Ben
