Autoconf not automatically installed in right version

Hello folks,

I'm currently in the chapter for testing a bitcoin script. There you are asked to install autoconf and a variety of other packages. However, when trying to -/autogen.sh I got the error, that a higher version of autoconf needs to be installed.

I installed the newest version (currently 2.71) from the official autoconf website and built it from source myself, so it's working now.

Nevertheless we should have a look at why the apt-get install autoconf did not install the required version in the first place ...

Thanks in advance :)

I've verified this works with Debian 11, so my guess is that an older version was being used. I'm going to double-check that our install scripts say to use the newest version.
