Hello.
I was hit by the very same error, and have found at least one
possible explanation, why it hits some people and not others.
My fix is simply to allow the udevcontrol call to fail, just as
all the other calls may fail:
if [ -x /sbin/udevcontrol ];
then /sbin/udevcontrol reload_rules || true;
fi
In my case I have a full "udev" installation (because that is
demanded by, I think, the GNOME suite), but udev is not active because I
for certain reasons need to run a somewhat old kernel. So with the
2.5.3-3 update that call is invoked but fails. The output from
installation process it looks as if it is a problem with the system group,
but it isn't - the "addgroup" call already has a "|| true" tagged on, so
it makes some noise but does not cause the postinst script to fail.
best regards
