This is the very bug that the 0ubuntu3 version fixed, i. e. bug 727211. But if you already had the older version installed (< 0ubuntu3) _and_ already got the new dpkg which introduced this behaviour change (which was true for a time window of about 12 hours), then you are in a situation which is hard to recover from, until the dpkg side of bug 727211 is fixed (already done in trunk).
For now, can you please do
sudo dpkg-divert --local --rename --divert /sbin/udevadm.
sudo apt-get -f install
? This should clean up.
