I'm not saying your a making it up.

Here's the problem as I see it.  libudev0 is in the release
repository, but it did not get placed on the dvd image as the
NetworkManager that came with the dvd did not depend on it. A later
NetworkManager update does depend on it. I'm not sure why your
scenario isn't picking up libudev0 and installing it. I'll have to do
more local testing to try to confirm this behavior. I've never run
into it myself, but my update habits may have prevented me from
noticing this previously.
