Bug 508942 – KDM install fails with 'rm: cannot remove '/var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kdm-4.11.5/image//usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/kde-plasma.desktop': No such file or directory'

I'm trying to install the last stable version of kde-meta on new clean system.
It's all ok except kdm-4.11.5. (I tried kdm-4.11.7 as well)
The install phase fails with message:
rm: cannot remove '/var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kdm-4.10.2/image//usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/kde-plasma.desktop': No such file or directory

It stands for the next part of ebuild:
	# an equivalent file is already installed by kde-base/startkde, bug 377151
 	rm "${ED}/usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/kde-plasma.desktop" || die

I think the possible solution would be to comment whole line or avoid '|| die' part.
However when I tried this the next part of ebuild:
 sed -e "s|^.*SessionsDirs=.*$|#&\nSessionsDirs=${EPREFIX}/usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions,${EPREFIX}/usr/share/xsessions|" \
	-e "/#ServerTimeout=/s/^.*$/ServerTimeout=30/" \
	-e "/#TerminateServer=/s/^.*$/TerminateServer=true/" \
	-e "s|^.*DataDir=.*$|#&\nDataDir=${EPREFIX}${KDM_HOME}|" \
	-e "s|^.*FaceDir=.*$|#&\nFaceDir=${EPREFIX}${KDM_HOME}/faces|" \
	-i "${ED}"/usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc \
	|| die "Failed to set ServerTimeout and SessionsDirs correctly in kdmrc."

also fails.

I believe the reason is that the files are not exist, especially path
${ED}/usr/share/ doesn't contain 'apps' directory at all, only 'doc'

Could you please advice?
