Error in volumeid configure script

The volumeid configure script, contains an error:

Bitten by that one too. Of course, if you don't want to wait for a fixed package, add that little expected "then" to the end of line 22 in /var/lib/dpkg/info/volumeid.postinst and then retry to get past the configuration.

Yup, that works.

Thanks!

udev (093-0ubuntu11) edgy; urgency=low

  * Correct a bug in the previous release, forgot "then" after "if...;"
  * Move libvolume_id.so into /lib
