It seems that udev version 0.056-3 doesn't contain that file, and 0.074-2 expects it to be there. It may have been introduced by an intermediate version of udev, but the package doesn't account for you upgrading from a version where that file didn't exist. You should probably file a bug against the udev package. Use the reportbug package; it will make things easy. For what it's worth, I just upgraded udev from 0.070 to 0.074-2, and I did not get that error.
