Sometimes you can experience network issues with updates; faulty link,
mirror host experiencing problems etc. In this case, I'd try the
following (from a terminal window: Applications|Accessories|Terminal):

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

and if the same file is still a problem:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-volume-manager
