udev fails to correctly install upon update on Ubuntu Lucid

[Matt Eskes]

Binary package hint: udev

While upgrading the system today, the udev package was apparently upgraded as well. The update errored out while initramfs-tools was trying to regenerate at the file udev/firmware.sh

Error is as following:

"Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-12-generic
cpio ./lib/udev/firmware.sh Cannot Stat: No such file or directory"

With the usual further overview of the issue.
