Patch attached for the /run transition.  This checks for /run/udev
in addition to /dev/.udev and /dev/.udevdb.

Note that this does not address Marco's bug above, that the obsolete
stuff needs to be removed.  It just makes it not-broken on current
systems.  Note that the existing udev checks were /already/ broken
because you never checked for /dev/.udev.

There has been no response to this for over nine months.  It's been
broken for that long since /run was introduced.  Please could you
apply the attached patch to make it work again, and also look at
removing the logic entirely.


Thanks,
Roger
