Bug Description

=========================================
SRU Justification:
1. Impact: install/upgrade of qemu-kvm alongside udev can fail.
2. Development fix: make qemu-kvm depend on udev
3. Stable fix: same as development fix
4. Test case:
sudo apt-get install udev qemu-kvm
sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archive/udev_* /var/cache/apt/archive/qemu-kvm*
sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archive/qemu-kvm* /var/cache/apt/archive/udev_*
(one of those will fail)
5. Regression potential: none.

Error occurred during standard sudo apt-get upgrade action

Thanks for submitting this bug.

I can't reproduce it here, but it sounds like it would be worthwhile to do the udevadm trigger only if udev is running.

Can you tell us if you did anything manually to affect udev before the upgrade?

qemu-kvm needs to depend on the udev package, to ensure the udev package is configured first before the qemu-kvm package's maintainer script is called.

---------------
qemu-kvm (1.0+noroms-0ubuntu14.6) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  * Fix qemu-kvm.upstart: just don't run in a container. Otherwise we'll
    still try to load/unload kernel modules. Also undo the || true after
    sysfs writes. Since setting those is a part of configuring qemu-kvm
    on the host, failing when they fail makes sense.
