>Description:
deskutils/dailystrips port was recently updated to port version 1.1.0 from 1.0.28.

In port and dailystrips version 1.0.28, the main program was dailystrips.pl.

In port and dailystrips version 1.1.0, that program does not exist.

If the port versions are supposed to reflect the dailystrips versions, then the port upgrade is actually a downgrade to a version two years older than the current version available, 1.0.28.

As shown on http://dailystrips.sourceforge.net/download.html, 1.1.0 is a devel release from April 2001, 1.0.28 is the current release, from August 2003.

Also, the documentation put into /usr/local/share/doc/dailystrips makes reference to dailystrips.pl, which doesn't exist in port and dailystrips version 1.1.0.

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Revert back to dailystrips version 1.0.28.
