autoconf problem

[Nicki de Wet]

There appears to be a problem with the autoconf port.

After doing portsnap fetch update, portversion says the following:
bsd00# portversion -vl "<"
[Updating the portsdb <format:bdb_btree> in /usr/ports ... - 19039  
port entries found  
.........1000.........2000.........3000.........4000.........5000.........6000.........7000.........8000.........9000.........10000.........11000.........12000.........13000.........14000.........15000.........16000.........17000.........18000.........19000 .....  
done]
autoconf                    <  needs updating (port has 2.62) (=>  
'devel/autoconf262')

Trying to upgrade autoconf, I get the following:
bsd00# portupgrade -bvpp autoconf
--->  Session started at: Wed, 27 Aug 2008 08:36:38 +0000
** Port directory not found: devel/autoconf261

         - devel/autoconf261 (port directory error)

There is no mention in /usr/ports/UPDATING of the change in directory  
apparent from the above output, and it seems there is a discrepency in  
the INDEX downloaded by portsnap and the output of make search  
name=autoconf

INDEX:

I would really appreciate it if someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Nicki
