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.
