Either exclude autofs or erase all kernels before 2.6.17.
I removed kernel 2.6.16....
Info told me:
Usually autofs is invoked at system boot time with the
start parameter and at shutdown time with the stop parameter.
so removing it didn't seem such a good idea, and I wasn't sure what effect
there would be if I excluded autofs, which I presume I would have to do in
every update.
End result? Zilch. I still haven't got an update. This time it is
dependencies - libgcj.so.7 and libgcjawt.so.7.
Is this likely to be a mirror problem, or something seriously wrong at my end?
I ask because my system got trashed a few days ago, after an update, and all
my attempts to put it right got me nowhere. I haven't managed a successful
update either on the original system or on this new install since then.
