Patch attached for the /run transition. This checks for /run/udev
in addition to /dev/.udev and /dev/.udevdb.
Note that this does not address Marco's bug above, that the obsolete
stuff needs to be removed. It just makes it not-broken on current
systems. Note that the existing udev checks were /already/ broken
because you never checked for /dev/.udev.
There has been no response to this for over nine months. It's been
broken for that long since /run was introduced. Please could you
apply the attached patch to make it work again, and also look at
removing the logic entirely.
Thanks,
Roger
