udev's preinst only has some standard autogenerated debhelper code,
mostly related to the ancient sysvinit->upstart migration. So this
rather looks like some random error induced by a memory or hard disk
problem? Can you please run a memory test (grub boot menu) and file
system check (also in grub boot menu, under "rescue mode")?

** Summary changed:

Title:
  preinst of udev was killed by signal (Illegal instruction), core
  dumped

Status in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When asked, did I want to install upgrade, I  selected "Yes" and was
  subsequently confronted by a frozen computer.  After shutting down the
  system and restarting, I found it ended up with a blank screen and a
  frozen keyboard.  So, the only thing to do was to shut down by holding
  the power button for six seconds.  Upon restarting, I was confronted
  with multiple warnings of various programs failing to start or
  malfunctioning, and suggesting that reports be filed.
