Egad and how many times have done that in other situations...

I tried emerge -vC udev followed by emerge -v udev

No help

Its just udev-120 that does this.

Before seeing your post I backed up to udev-119 and went right thru.
So must still be something a little off there.

However I emerged udev again and deleted the lock file as recommended
and 120 went right thru.

120 must be the first version that concerns itself with lock files.
