Mo> Why does autoconf require another program to install?
Because you're referring to the CVS tarball, hence you shall be ready
to be in position of a maintainer. Autoconf, once completely packed,
will not require help2man.
Nevertheless, the CVS repo is keeping all the files up to date, with
all the dependencies satisfied.

Apparently you did something, such as modifying autoconf.sh, which
triggered the regeneration of the man pages, so help2man was launched.
Indeed, it is an undesired result that your installation fails, any
patch/analysis will be appreciated :).
Or else, maybe you're running HP-UX, native make, and you are paying
its weird behavior wrt timestamps :)
