Hi,

Sometimes utilities that are started by devd require libraries outside
/usr/lib. One example is the webcamd utility which is started by devd upon USB
device insertion. What do you think about the following patch:

--- devd        (revision 209463)
+++ devd        (local)
@@ -4,7 +4,7 @@
 #

 # PROVIDE: devd
-# REQUIRE: netif
+# REQUIRE: netif ldconfig
 # BEFORE: NETWORKING mountcritremote
 # KEYWORD: nojail shutdown

ldconfig requires mountcritremote, so this patch would introduce a
circular dependency.

   Should ldconfig require mountcritlocal instead?

The operating theory is that we want to provide robust support for /usr/local not mounted locally. (And yes, I get the irony there.) :)

What could be done is a 2-pass ldconfig, as is done for some other services. However if I understood the OP's problem correctly, that may not help here because devd is trying to start something that is in /usr/local.
