Nothing to do with udev, it just causes the initramfs to be rebuilt.
What happens is that apparently due to the recently uploaded base-files
there is now a /run directory, which might get partially populated
during runtime. Apparently during initramfs time, udev uses /dev/.udev,
but then when then initramfs is done, udev gets stopped, and restarted
in the "real" system again, at which point it uses /run/udev/. But the
latter does not have any of the previously detected properties like
ID_INPUT_*, and thus stuff fails all over the place.
As you already figured out, "sudo rm /run/*" will temporarily fix the
problem again.
We need to make up our mind here if we want to complete the base-files
upload for /run, and adjust initramfs-tools etc. accordingly, or revert
it, to avoid having more people fall into this trap.
