Suricata package does not survive pfSense upgrade.

Description

After running a firmware update, between snapshots for example, the Suricata will no longer start.
This was discussed here:
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/126168/suricata-on-the-sg-3100-does-not-survive-a-firmware-upgrade

The solution found there still restores functionality:

/etc/rc.d/ldconfig start; ldd /usr/local/bin/suricata

I am now seeing this on x86 and ARM devices.

I couldn't reproduce this issue. Steve, do you still see issues when upgrade?

Install 2.4.4.a.20180810.1914 recovery snapshot for SG-3100. Install Suricata, enable some sources, update, add and enable WAN interace with some rules. Start the interface, it will run. Upgrade to the latest 2.4.4 snapshot (2.4.4.a.20180817.1114 as I type this). Once the upgrade completes try to start the service, it will not start.

Still seeing this. On ARM for example:

Installed packages to be UPGRADED:
    php72-pfSense-module: 0.62_6 -> 0.63_6 [pfSense]
    pfSense-u-boot-sg3100: 2.4.4.a.20180814.1655 -> 2.4.4.a.20180820.0415 [pfSense-core]
    pfSense-rc: 2.4.4.a.20180814.1655 -> 2.4.4.a.20180820.0415 [pfSense-core]
    pfSense-pkg-suricata: 4.0.13_2 -> 4.0.13_3 [pfSense]
    pfSense-kernel-pfSense-SG-3100: 2.4.4.a.20180814.1655 -> 2.4.4.a.20180820.0415 [pfSense-core]
    pfSense-default-config-serial: 2.4.4.a.20180814.1655 -> 2.4.4.a.20180820.0415 [pfSense-core]
    pfSense-base: 2.4.4.a.20180814.1655 -> 2.4.4.a.20180820.0415 [pfSense-core]
    pfSense: 2.4.4.a.20180814.1656 -> 2.4.4.a.20180819.1529 [pfSense]

Running "/etc/rc.d/ldconfig start; ldd /usr/local/bin/suricata" still allows it to start after that so the root cause appears the same.

Interestingly the Suricata package was updated there and that usually allows it to start normally after an upgrade but not this time.

Added a call to ldconfig start on suricata startup script. It should be enough to make sure libraries cache will be up2date.

Version 4,.0.13_6 will contain the fix

We probably need to test this across an upgrade where the suricata package version doesn't change to be sure.
