Package: udev
Version: 0.076-6
Severity: normal
I started getting this problem with 0.076-4. Upgrading to 0.076-6 made no
difference. I now have a growing collection of /tmp/udev.*/ directories. :)
This appears to be different to the other postinst-symlink-related bugs in
the BTS.

I'm guessing it's choking on /dev/.static/dev/initctl
I'd try a purge/reinstall but I'd rather not risk hosing the machine...
