Bump! This was first reported in 2006 and it's not fixed yet? When the fix is a simple one-line addition to the default config file?

I just had the same problem on an Ubuntu Hardy LAMP Server install. The fix was as above, "Exclusion = /lib/udev/devices/".
My symptom was that fcheck would never finish, but would hang at "PROGRESS: validating integrity of /lib/" and leave a ton of fcheck processing haing around (see via 'pgrep -l fcheck'). After a 'sudo kill -9 $(pgrep fcheck)' I'd get a bunch of fcheck ALERT emails telling me: "STATUS:Killed" followed by a bunch of cron messages saying the same thing.

Adding the exclude line per Richard Laager's comment above on 2007-05-08 solved the problem for me.

I'd report this upstream, but I do *not* have the same problem on Debian Etch (which has "/lib/udev/devices/" but the dir is empty)...
