Has someone made those two files immutable? Run lsattr on /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post and /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules?

SOLVED

Marked as such in the title but it would be nice to know how in case anyone else finds the same problem.

I would really like to know how you fixed this. I am getting this error and can't figure out how to update udev.

Do an lsattr on file /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules and see if the immutable bit is set.

[D8TA]

lsattr /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules
----i--------e- /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules

[TrevorH]

Someone has made that file immutable. Find out who and why. Sounds like they devised a wrong solution for some problem they had.

[D8TA]

Thanks.

Running chattr -i /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules allowed me to update the system.

Appreciate the assistance.
