Sorry, but it seems this report contains zero useful information (not your fault). The https://launchpadlibrarian.net/198033481/DpkgTerminalLog.txt attachment is essentially empty. If you do "sudo apt-get install -f", does that succeed, or do you get errors? If so, please copy&paste the entire output here.

If it succeeds (i. e. it doesn't write anything), can you try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall udev"?

There has been no answer to the request for information above for a month. I'm closing this bug report as in its current form it is not actionable. I'll reopen this once that information has been provided. Thank you for your report!
