And actually, I already sent this information in my OP.
After installing autoconf 2.60, ruby compiles fine. So, either autoconf-wrapper or ruby should IMO have a dependency on autconf 2.60.
they do depend on each other, but in the upgrade path there isnt an easy way to force autoconf-2.60 and latest autoconf-wrapper to merged one right after the other
