--- Comment #3 from [email protected] --- Hi Jasem, I did some more experimenting. Ignore my message below about the files missing in the kstars.app directories. Those are installed during the first run of kstars into ~/Library/Application Support/kstars directory. But the 3.8.0 package installer is not installing those files. Here’s how I determined that: I tried a “clean” install by removing the existing kstars application and moving the data to backups: rm -fr /Applications/kstars mv ~/Library/Application Support/kstars ~/Library/Application Support/kstars.backup I then installed kstars 3.8.0 using the DMG. When I run kstars, there is an error during startup saying that a required file TZrules.dat is missing. In fact, it was there in the old ~/Library/Application Support/kstars, but not in the new, freshly installed one. Apparently the package manager uncompresses and installs these data files when kstars is first opened. This installs over the existing data files. Since older versions installed the data files properly, they are already there when 3.8.0 is first opened, and it opens without the file missing error. I suspect that in your installation, ~/Library/Application Support/kstars/taskqueue already existed. However, it is not being installed for 3.8.0 .
