It's not that udev-cache might not be available, rather that packagegroup-
core-boot shouldn't have any kind of reference to it. In any case unless udev 
is skipped somehow, an RRECOMMENDS on udev-cache will end up building udev 
even if you haven't selected it in VIRTUAL-RUNTIME_dev_manager so that won't 
help.

Cheers,
Paul
