I've just rendered my system unusable after installing udev-118-2 but
not the latest initscripts,
because initscripts in core check for start_udev, and when it's not
available - falls back to static /dev which obviously has only a
couple of files, and no /dev/sda*.
User has to remount / in rw mode (to make changes to local db
possible), then downgrade udev or update initscripts.
This happens only when user upgrades udev without upgrading to
initscripts first.
I don't know how this should be solved in a clean way.
Will a big fat warning in udev's pre_upgrade with 'read' command and
Ctrl-C possibility be enought?
The situation when upgrading initscripts and using older udev is
already covered by depends=(... udev>=118 ...) in initscripts'
PKGBUILD.
