It thinks 50-udev.rules is owned by udev-103, but 50-udev.rules has the

just xxx).
You shouldn't be editing this file at all, because your changes will be
overwritten by an update. Put your own settings in 10-local.rules to keep
them safe.
Thanks, while this is good advice - in this case I'm not wanting my own
rules at all, just trying to locate the source of the error messages,
and from there figure out what went wrong...
I think I have it:
The file /etc/udev/rules.d/udev.rules is the same as the one in the
udev-103 archive - whereas the 50-udev.rules is different (i.e guess
older). So somehow in the udev-103 update the old file got left there...
So I've renamed udev.rules to 50-udev.rules and everything looks good
(no warnings, everything coming up ok).
So somewhere along the way, either I forgot to run etc-update when
needed or there was a bug in the udev update process at some point...
cheers
Mark
