Except when I did a `cast -c net-tools` after this failed, I still get the
/sbin/ifdown file exists error. ifupdown has the following at the top of
INSTALL:
# the makefile doesn't ln -sf so it might fail. so we destroy an easily
# creatable symlink for safety
if [ -h $INSTALL_ROOT/sbin/ifdown ]; then
rm -f $INSTALL_ROOT/sbin/ifdown
fi &&

But /sbin/ifdown is not a symlink:
$ ls -lah /sbin/ifdown
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27K Jun 6 23:14 /sbin/ifdown

Probably will have the same issue with /sbin/ifup (also not a symlink). `gaze
from /sbin/ifdown` does not know where it's from.
