It isn't always as direct as that.  Lets see what network-manager applet needs.

alan@hactar:~$ apt-cache show network-manager-gnome | grep Depends
Depends: libatk1.0-0 (>= 1.20.0), libc6 (>= 2.4), libcairo2 (>=

libxrender1, zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), network-manager (>=

Note libgtk2.0-0 must be higher or equal to 2.14.1

alan@hactar:~$ apt-cache show libgtk2.0-0 | grep Depends

Recommends: hicolor-icon-theme, libgtk2.0-bin

Note libcups2 must be greater or equal than 1.3.8

You can see from below that Ubuntu 8.04 has libcups 1.3.7, ergo it
needs to be updated to satisfy libgtk and network-manager-gnome.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=libcups&searchon=names&suite=hardy&section=all

I'd just do a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 over the top.

Cheers,
Al.
