Bugzilla Bug 142786

$ ls -l /
...
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root     19 2006-08-03 18:18 celestia ->
/usr/share/celestia/
...

The problem is that the Makefile.am patch has:

 install-data-hook:
+               mv -f -b $(DESTDIR)$(kde_datadir)/@PACKAGE@/*
$(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/@PACKAGE@/ ; \
+               rmdir $(DESTDIR)$(kde_datadir)/@PACKAGE@ ; \
+               ln -s $(datadir)/@PACKAGE@ $(DESTDIR)$(kde_datadir) ;

This only makes sense when USE=kde, otherwise $(kde_datadir) is blank and
DESTDIR gets the symlink.

The hook should be removed from the patch or protected with 
        if [ "$(kde_datadir)" ]

I just noticed this because the broken ebuild was marked stable.  It fails on
an access violation trying to rmdir /celestia.

This ebuild should be masked until this is fixed.

/usr/portage/distfiles/tmp/portage/celestia-1.4.1/image//usr/share/celestia/ ;

        rmdir /celestia ; \

I'm still getting this when only using USE="gtk". Any ETA on a fix?

Could you test the celestia in the gentooscience.org overlay?
This should fix it and bug #128218 as well.

Ping...

Server seems down. Instructions?
