Yes, the 0.10 version installs the binary in ${LOCALBASE}/bin , which 
is /usr/local/bin , instead of ${X11BASE}/bin , which 
is /usr/X11R6/bin/. I'm not sure why it's not finding it correctly in 
your case, as it will deinstall for me. Maybe your pkgdb isn't correct. 
Maybe try pkgdb -F. This change has caused some problems (not sure if 
the change were intentional), specifically with gimp, and I sent a 
patch to the list for that earlier. The patch solves the problem for 
gimp, but I'm not sure that desktop-file-utils is supposed to be 
installing in LOCALBASE.
