Package `udev' is not installed and no info is available.

Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

The console files look OK to me. Am I missing something? As you can see, I am 
not using udev. (Actually I lied in the previous post: I'm using 
Agnula/DeMuDi 1.2.1, a Debian 3.1 Sarge derivative, instead of Official 
Debian; so udev is not installed, for whatever reason.)

Thanks.
