Google chrome install on 12.3 missing libudev.so.0

On a 64 bit upgrade from 12.2 to 12.3 the Google chrome browser was installed but would not load with the error:

/usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I manually installed the package libudev0 and all was well.

Hope this helps someone.

This usually means you have stale packages on your system. In this case I suspect you have the Chrome version for 12.2 installed.

Yes, on 12.3 only libudev1 is installed by default.

But where did you get Google Chrome from?
I just downloaded and installed the rpm from http://www.google.com/chrome and it works fine here without libudev0…
