Description:
I ran "pacman -Syu" yesterday, upgrading from udev 139-1 to 140-1 and from kernel26 2.6.28.7-2 to 2.6.28.8-1, and since then, the symlinks for CD and DVD devices in /dev have been broken, like this:

[amunkres@ryokucha ~]$ ls -altd /dev/*{cd,dvd}*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2009-03-28 00:29 /dev/cd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2009-03-28 00:29 /dev/cdrw0 -> /dev/cd/cdrw-1:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2009-03-28 00:29 /dev/dvd -> /dev/cd/dvd-1:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 2009-03-28 00:29 /dev/dvd0 -> /dev/cd/dvd-1:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2009-03-28 00:29 /dev/cdrom -> /dev/cd/cdrom-1:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2009-03-28 00:29 /dev/cdrom0 -> /dev/cd/cdrom-1:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 2009-03-28 00:29 /dev/cdrw -> /dev/cd/cdrw-1:0:0:0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-03-28 00:29 /dev/scd0 -> sr0
[amunkres@ryokucha ~]$ ls -alt /dev/cd
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 21 root root 0 2009-03-28 00:34 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 2009-03-28 00:29 .
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2009-03-28 00:29 cdrom- -> ../sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2009-03-28 00:29 cdrw- -> ../sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 2009-03-28 00:29 dvd- -> ../sr0

The symlinks in /dev/cd are missing the "1:0:0:0", but the targets of the links in /dev still have the "1:0:0:0", so the links in /dev are broken.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
udev 140-1
kernel26 2.6.28.8-1
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
file -sL /dev/dvd
ls -altd /dev/*{cd,dvd}*
ls -alt /dev/cd
