Yes, there's a bug in /etc/postinstall/autoconf2.5.sh:


#!/bin/bash -e

# make unversion man pages
pushd /usr/share/man/man1 >/dev/null 2>&1
for fn in autoconf autoheader autom4te autoreconf autoscan \
         autoupdate config.guess config.sub ifnames
do
         rm -f ${fn}.1.gz 2>/dev/null || /bin/true
-       ln -fs ${fn}-2.67.1.gz ${fn}.1.gz 2>/dev/null || /bin/true
+       ln -fs ${fn}-2.68.1.gz ${fn}.1.gz 2>/dev/null || /bin/true
done
popd >/dev/null 2>&1


For now, the short term workaround is to make the indicated change, and 
re-run the script manually (perhaps in an elevated shell).
