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. https://launchpad.net/bugs/573919

bootlog 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
