I installed upower_0.9.17-1build1_amd64.deb per @pitti's instruction and run sudo upower --dump and attached the output. There was no visible change in the icon, still showed a "not present" in () on the indicator drop down along with a red empty mouse icon and red empty battery icon for the keyboard. I even logged out and back into a new session and still see the same behavior.
