Same bug with Arch i686 on Samsung NC110.
The only way is to downgrade to previous version of udev(181-5)

This same in Dell Studio 1558. Multimedia keys not working becouse of them. Helps only downgrade package.
Udev say : udevd[185]: failed to execute '/usr/lib/udev/keyboard-force-release.sh' 'keyboard-force-rel

Part of the message is cut, but i don't know why.

Patch sent upstream. The build system gets this wrong.

Thanks for reporting and fixing. I'll push a new release soon.

Hey everyone, it isn't that bad, just edit the file (/usr/lib/udev/keyboard-force-release.sh) and delete /usr from the first line (#!/usr/bin/sh -e); that line tells the system where to search for the interpreter of the script. By fixing the path where sh is you'll have a full working and shiny new Udev :)
BTW: just remember to backup the file in case your editor don't make an autobackup of it.
Cheers!
