Well, if you could tell us which the previous installed autoconf and
automake versions were, that would likely be enough information to
reproduce the bug.  Then we can decide whether we need to do something
about it.  Thank you.

For the next upgrade round, it's probably more advisable to upgrade
autoconf before automake before libtool.  OTOH, given that m4-2.0
will likely depend on libtool-2.0, and autoconf's next major version 
*may* depend on m4-2.0, this can't be said for certain, *iff* you
are upgrading CVS versions which need bootstrapping.  If you instead
download tarballs, or simply upgrade from some packaging system, you
should be fine either way.

Cheers,
Ralf
