usb stick wont mount anymore

Hi,
I am running debian etch with xfce desktop. I've just updated to 4.4, using synptic, and my usb wont mount any longer. In RC2 it worked perfectly. The sda1 icon is shown but when I double click on the icon I get the following message:

exo-mount: Cannot mount by HAL device UDI, because HAL support was disabled for this build.

How can I fix this problem?

thanks
jmak

Re: usb stick wont mount anymore

Install a version of libexo which support HAL

In the Debian repositories HAL support only exists in the experimental repository (libexo 0.3.3-2)

Thanks for the tip.
Whoever has the same problem can solve it like this.

Add to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ experimental main
then,
su aptitude update
su aptitude install libexo-0.3-0/experimental
