Bug#915361: udev refuses to start with sysvinit because it misdetects a container

[Gianluigi Tiesi]

Package: udev
Severity: grave

After upgrading kernel from 4.18.0-2 to 4.18.0-3 udev refuses to start if using sysvinit scripts

if [ -w /sys ]; then
  log_warning_msg "udev does not support containers, not started"
  exit 0
fi

/sys is mounted rw and it misdetects a container
