systemd-udevd error messages in journal

Hi,

several times during the boot process I can find such error messages in my journal:

Any idea what could cause this? Google didn't give any results for me.

Re: systemd-udevd error messages in journal

Hi,

I had the same problem and just figured out what was causing it: the udev rules from colord and/or argyllcms.
I commented out the lines calling usb-db from the following files:
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/69-cd-sensors.rules and /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/55-Argyll.rules

The messages are gone as expected but I don't know what these command was doing in the first place.
I've reported the bugs to hopefully get a proper fix:
