Output of "emerge --info"

This morning I have update my ~amd64 gentoo system as usual, and a new
version of net-tools was installed:
sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20120127084908

With this version /sbin/ifconfig has been moved to /bin/ifconfig.

After that net.lo stoped working, with the following boot messages:

net.lo        |/lib64/rc/net/netplugd.sh: line 24: _exists: command not found
net.lo        |/lib64/rc/net/wpa_supplicant.sh: line 68: _is_wireless: command not found
net.lo        |/etc/init.d/net.lo: line 552: _exists: command not found

Therefore no connections was stablished.

A workaround was making a symlink of /bin/ifconfig to /sbin.
