Package: udev
Version: 0.076-1
Severity: important

I got this pre-install failure upgrading from udev 0.074-3 to 0.076-1
under 2.6.12 (debian package linux-image-2.6.14-2-k7):

Preparing to replace udev 0.074-3 (using .../archives/udev_0.076-1_i386.deb=
) ...
mv: target `/dev/.udev/db/' is not a directory: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/udev_0.076-1_i386.deb (--unp=
ack):
 subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/udev_0.076-1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
A package failed to install. Trying to recover:

On my system I have /dev/.udevdb/, but not /dev/.udev/. Looking at the
preinst, it looks like you are forgetting to check if /dev/.udev/ exists
before moving /dev/.udevdb/ to /dev/.udev/db/.
