Re: [SOLVED]glibc update sbin/init: error

You did a partial update, didn't you? Maybe using a little excessive --force?

Re: [SOLVED]glibc update sbin/init: error

Do you have /usr/lib/libudev.so.1.1.0 and /usr/lib/libudev.so.1 symlink pointing to the former?

Re: [SOLVED]glibc update sbin/init: error

Yes.

BTW could this be related to the order that the packages were installed and the removal of libsystemd and systemd-tools??

Initially I suspected that too, but the libudev.so.* files/links are all in the systemd package before/after the install, so they shouldn't be disappearing in the middle of the update. Despite I don't remember such message during this update, you should be able to safely reboot (I think). Maybe try it.

Re: [SOLVED]glibc update sbin/init: error

No idea what happened but the system rebooted and works just fine as it seems. Marking it solved.

Re: [SOLVED]glibc update sbin/init: error

I'm pretty sure it is the upgrade order because libsystemd-tools which had libudev is removed, and systemd which now has it was installed after glibc.   For people to avoid this problem they should probably upgrade systemd on it's own first.
