Should I install the identified missing packages are would that
be dangerous?
Also today I googled for 'ubuntu automount bug' and there is a
bug concerning the automount. Toward the end of the many
complaints there are several workrouns but several too
cryptic for me to understand.

hhbootlog entries are just warnings. You could install "awk" to get rid of
those.
The other package warnings are maintainer errors that need to be fixed.
You don't have a choice which version of libc6 is install in your distro.
libc6 is a shared library used by ALL packages on your distro version.
"fdisk -l" will show all available devices whether they are mounted yet or
not. If the device does not show up, then I would not expected it to be
mountable; even manually. So, the first problem is to get the device to
show-up so that it can be mounted.
Plugging a USB stick in my Ubuntu 11.04 machine it does not "automount",
but I see the device as "/dev/sdb1":

Then I can manually mount it at a previous created mount point such as
"/media/jdrv"; where i created the directory "jdrv".
sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /media/jdrv
I have not got around to fixing the automount problem on my desktop yet;
mainly because I do not plug usb devices in very often. The SD card in my
Android phone automounts OK; not plagued by the problem for some reason.

Hello Lee
I tried booting with my older flash card plugged in and that mounted on the DT
then if I plug in the SD card it mounts it fast and I can copy at normal speeds
to the HD. I noticed an update to the USB a few days ago so prehaps the
maintainers fixed the problem. It is now working normally as fr as I can
determine.
Thanks again for all the help
