Description
Not sure if it is worth mentioning in the book, but the Autoconf package overwrites /usr/share/info/standards.info which is initially installed by the Binutils package.
They are different in that one of them (I didn't look that closely to see which one) has more recent updates. I have modifications in my scripts to rename the binutils one before the Autoconf installation.
Close this ticket if the issue is too insignificant to mention in the book.

Added Greg's fix to the Binutils instructions to suppress the installation of the outdated file.
I'd have mentioned William as well, but with the spelling errors and XML that won't validate, I couldn't use any of his patch.
Thanks for the report, the ticket is valid even if it is insignificant for the current book. Some action related to this issue will be required when package management enters the book.
