Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2017-09-27 09:06:22 UTC 
In src_install:

    dosym /usr/portage/licenses/GPL-2 /usr/share/${PN}/COPYING

It is not guaranteed that /usr/portage exists on the user's system (and see bug 373349 why using PORTDIR instead would not be a good idea either).

I'd suggest to restore installation of COPYING in gpredict-1.1-doc.patch and let the package's build system install it from the tarball.
