I've got the very same situation here. I upgraded udev and libudev0 to 146-2
despite loosing mdadm for a while. But since I didn't want to try (re-)booting without
mdadm ( / is on a RAID5 ), I didn't reboot (which I probably should have).
And unfortunately just upgrading didn't improve anything (yes I did restart PA).

So can somebody whose machine isn't wrecked afterwards please try upgrading udev
and report back. In the mean time I will convince apt to downgrade udev and PA back 
to 0.141-2/0.9.15. Thanks, friendly stranger!

Cheers

Alexander
