Title:
  package udev 204-5ubuntu20.20 failed to install/upgrade: pre-
  dependency problem - not installing udev

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Upgrading Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS using do-release-upgrade.
  Normal update/upgrade without problems/stable within release 12, including reboot.

  During the upgrade I noticed "xenial" in the path-names, assuming the
  target would be 16.04 LTS.

  But after 15min I noticed the following:

  -----
  Errors were encountered while processing:
   /var/cache/apt/archives/lvm2_2.02.133-1ubuntu10_amd64.deb
   /var/cache/apt/archives/udev_229-4ubuntu12_amd64.deb
  Error in function:

  SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
  Error in sys.excepthook:
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/problem_report.py", line 416, in add_to_existing

    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/problem_report.py", line 369, in write
      block = f.read(1048576)
    File "/usr/lib/python3.4/codecs.py", line 319, in decode
      (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
  UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: invalid start byte

  Original exception was:
  SystemError: E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

  Given the URL in the text, I landed here.

  At the next choice, I selected to continue, effectively ignoring more
  problems with udev ?

  I tried to recover by "apt-get -f install", later "apt full-upgrade" and it looked ok.
  Unfortunately after reboot the server responded only to ping, as far as I could see nothing else.

  I am working remotely with the server of my client, they start working
  at 08:00 CET.

  Going for a short sleep now, as I'm afraid having to travel to the
  client and continue on-site.

  If you can provide me with hits, I would apreciate that a lot.

  Thanks in advance,

  Nico
