If you do not happen to know the correct package, please use "general"
with no version.

Do you remember which packages were involved in the upgrade? It is
basically impossible to figure out the cause from the information given
in your report. A first guess would be that udev is the cause, but this
may be wrong as well.

So this makes a race condition very likely.

Can you attach the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules from an
affected system and an unaffected, but similar system?

Thanks
