I changed udev to only check for /etc/init.d/sysfs. See Bug #252493. The only place where librc checking is kept is only run on older openrc-versions which are no longer available via ebuild. I hope this will make udev work on any system regardless of how /lib and stuff is linked. (For further analysis perhaps someone on a multilib profile can check where udev still has /lib/xxx hardcoded instead of /lib64/xxx or similar). Should I nevertheless add such a blocker to udev or will that make update unnecessary complicated? RDEPEND="!<sys-apps/openrc-0.4.0" Regards Matthias
