After updating cdrom automount no longer works.

[joseppi]

Prior to doing the last update of my system, cdroms were automatically mounted.
But after doing the update, that is no longer true.

Why? What's up with this?

What do I need to do to restore this important function?

[Rudge]

What update did you do? If you are now using KDE4 instead of KDE3 some things are different. You need to add the "Device Notifier" widget in KDE4.  Assuming that was your "update". 
If not, we will all need to know more about your "update".

Here is a list of the most recent synaptic updates I've done.
And I've made no other changes or installations to the system.

Prior to the last update, auto mount worked fine.
After the last update, the cd/dvd drive was no longer found.
