Package: xfce4-notifyd Version: 0.2.2-1 Severity: normal
xfce4-notifyd provides notification-daemon but other packages which depend on notification-daemon don't accept xfce4-notifyd as sufficient. For example, update-notifier, gnome-core etc. So these packages have insisted on installing notification-daemon as well and will not allow it to be uninstalled even though xfce4-notifyd is installed. As a result, it seems to be a matter of chance which notification daemon I get on start up. Sometimes I get one, sometimes the other. I realise I could get rid of xfce4-notifyd but I much prefer it. Also, everything worked perfectly with xfce4-notifyd until a few days ago. I am sorry but I do not understand Debian's packaging system well enough to know whether this is really a bug in this package, notification-daemon or the packages which depend in turn on notification-daemon. I thought maybe I needed to configure an alternative or something but nothing seems to cover notification daemons and I can't find anything through configure-debian either, although I'm sure there must be a way if I look in just the right place... The Debian changelog notes that xfce4-notifyd no longer conficts with notification-daemon. Frankly, things worked a lot better when it did! -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (600, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.39-2-powerpc Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xfce4-notifyd depends on: ii libc6 2.13-21 ii libcairo2 1.10.2-6.1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.4.16-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.98-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.24.0-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.28.8-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.7-1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.29.4-2 ii libx11-6 2:1.4.4-2 ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.8.0-3 ii libxfce4util4 4.8.2-1 ii libxfconf-0-2 4.8.0-3 Versions of packages xfce4-notifyd recommends: ii libnotify-bin 0.7.4-1 xfce4-notifyd suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
