I also see this bug. There is an active bug in Debian #359978 that seems to be a duplicate of this problem. In Debian the file /etc/udev/rules.d/cd-aliases.rules seems to be the source of the problem. The bug appears to come from /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules in Gentoo. I have no idea how to fix it.
I would add (but could be unrelated) that at shutdown udev complains that it's unable to rm devices, because the filesystem is read-only
For me the problem appeared when upgrading from 079-r1 to 087.

Don't use it. %e is deprecated, so you can use %n in the /etc/udev/rules/50-udev.rules file, like the following: ENV{ID_CDROM}=="?*", SYMLINK+="cdrom%n", GROUP="cdrom" ENV{ID_CDROM_CD_RW}=="?*", SYMLINK+="cdrw%n" ENV{ID_CDROM_DVD}=="?*", SYMLINK+="dvd%n" ENV{ID_CDROM_DVD_R}=="?*", SYMLINK+="dvdrw%n" Jj

(In reply to comment #8) works for me. but should'n this be handled by etc-update?
(In reply to comment #11) that would when an update of the file is proposed by some update :) either by ebuild (patch ?) or new different 50-udev.rules in vanilla package. # equery b /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules [ Searching for file(s) /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules in *... ] sys-fs/udev-090 (/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules) *but* root@moon_gen:/var/log/portage# grep -nri "/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules" * root@moon_gen:/var/log/portage# ls |grep udev 3597-udev-086.log 3598-udev-084.log 3598-udev-086.log 3687-udev-087.log 3688-udev-086.log 3688-udev-087.log 3785-udev-087.log 3785-udev-089-r2.log 3786-udev-089-r2.log 3948-udev-090.log 3949-udev-089-r2.log 3949-udev-090.log so ... is sys-fs/udev really owner of this file ?
(In reply to comment #5) > I would add (but could be unrelated) that at shutdown udev complains that it's > unable to rm devices, because the filesystem is read-only > I can confirm, that when there is something plugged-in (like USB stick), the udev complains that it cannot remove /dev/<something>/.failed (I don't remember exactly now). When I do not have my USB stick plugged-in, no error message appears.

Confirmed on the 3 (=100%) Gentoo boxes I have... (2 x86 - 1 amd64)
(In reply to comment #8) This solution (changing %e for %n) totally works, havent found any errors so far by applying this. Am also noticing a "intelfb: Cannot reserve FB region" along with the find_free_number errors. This started showing up when jumped from stable to testing version of udev.
This is fixed in the latest version of udev.
