net-misc/kvpnc tries to exec /sbin/{ifconfig,route} instead of /bin/... and does that even after changing the path to the utility in the configuration dialog.
What do you think about patching the source to use the new paths, and depending on the new net-tools?
Same here. Patching its code did not work (I only changed hardwired paths in kvpncconfig.cpp). I wasn't able to downgrade net-tools because of newer linux-headers I have. As a workaround I've created symbolic links from ifconfig and route back to /sbin, now it works.

I have done the same type of patches on my own back in the days and it did not work for me. Though I still have the symlinks /sbin/ifconfig -> /bin/ifconfig and /sbin/route -> /bin/route which actually works for me.
Thanks all. Patch works for me. This is fixed in cvs. Please sync in some hours to get the changes. + + 23 Nov 2013; Johannes Huber <johu@gentoo.org> + +files/kvpnc-0.9.6a-ifconfig.patch, +kvpnc-0.9.6a-r2.ebuild: + Revision bump adds patch by Chris Reffett <creffett@gentoo.org>. Patch fixes + used path for ifconfig + route, bug #445852. +
