This was caused by a change in dmsetup, which was luckly reverted in the next upload.
Your problem is that the initrd of the kernel which you booted was
created with the broken dmsetup.
Run echo change > /sys/block/dm-0/uevent
that should fix it until the next reboot.
update-initramfs -c -t -k all should fix it permanetly
