---Problem Description---
Currently syslog is getting flooded with below log messages ..
Sep 25 03:16:41 ubuntu1710 systemd-udevd[2654]: Process '/bin/touch /run/run.vpdd
update' failed with exit code 127.

This is on UBuntu 17.10 latest build.. 
 
---uname output---
Linux ubuntu1710 4.12.0-11-generic #12-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 11 12:23:06 UTC 2017 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux
 
Machine Type = ZZ-L 
  
---Steps to Reproduce---
 I have seen these messages logged more often when we do any hotplug operations.. ex. cpu hotplug..

Ok. .this is the continuation of LTC #144627 / Launchpad #1682774.

As suggested in that bug, we did change udev script to create temporary
file under /run and that patch is available in ubuntu 17.10.

Looks like this is udev script issue. If I modify systemd-udevd like
below it works fine.

I've limited udev knowledge. I don't know if you have any other better
solution to this issue.
