Reads OK but I haven't tested. Does that problem warrant a mention in the port somewhere (i.e. either MESSAGE or pkg-readme)? I can't rearrange enough space on my laptop to install kicad, the upstream issue suggests something to do with loading libraries? Maybe look for clues running it with LD_DEBUG set?
