Package: udev
Version: 0.140-1
Severity: critical
A simple label error in a rules file can make a system unbootable : at
the head of a file in /etc/udev/rules.d, there was a (conditional) goto
to an 'end' label ; but at the end of the file, the label was 'begin',
so there was no 'end' label to be found.
That file ended in the initrd and the system was therefore unbootable
from disk : udevd just stopped! I had to boot from a livecd and play
with gunzip&cpio to vi the culprit, then build again the initrd.
I'm setting the severity to critical because although triggering the bug
was my fault, having udev handle the situation that bad can bring a
whole system to a state where only a pretty advanced user will be able
to save the situation.
Hope this helps,
JP

So do not create rules with errors.
Errors are immediately reported via syslog.
