Looking at the log, I can see now, that there *was* a warning..., but I
only noticed the suggestion about "revdep-rebuild..." near the end. :\

WARN: postinst
Upstream has removed the persistent-cd rules
generator. If you need persistent names for these devices,
place udev rules for them in /etc/udev/rules.d.
udev-197 and newer introduces a new method of naming network
interfaces. The new names are a very significant change, so
they are disabled by default on live systems.
Please see the contents of /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules for more
information on this feature.
You need to restart udev as soon as possible to make the upgrade go
into effect.
The method you use to do this depends on your init system.
Old versions of installed libraries were detected on your system.
In order to avoid breaking packages that depend on these old libs,
the libraries are not being removed. You need to run revdep-rebuild
in order to remove these old dependencies. If you do not have this
helper program, simply emerge the 'gentoolkit' package.
# revdep-rebuild --library '/lib64/libudev.so.0' && rm
'/lib64/libudev.so.0'
