Amazing how the very first comment in the bug is also 'You just made
it worse'.

in fact deleting S02udev from rc[2345].d would be a solution (since udev
starts in rcS.d and should not attempt to start in rc[2345].d).  One
person said they probably caused it by using gnome's service config tool.

In other words, don't take advice from people that don't know what they
are doing, as clearly the person filling the bug report didn't.
