GNOME power manager failed to install

[hisalmaan]

I installed Ubuntu 8.04 a week ago, it was working fine.

Then in installed the updates available using update manager, but GNOME power manager is not installed and now it is not detecting any external drives like CD, Pen-drive.

gnome power manager just controlles the battery etc, but, correct me if i'm wrong, not the hdds or pen drives. gnome-volume-mount(unsure about right spelling of that) does all the mounting and stuff.
