[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#588272: xfce4-notifyd: does not work after upgrade to libnotify 0.5

[Illia Korchemkin]

Package: xfce4-notifyd
Version: 0.1.0-4
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

After libnotify1 has upgraded to 0.5.0 no notifications are shown.
xfce4-notifyd is running:

$ ps -e | grep notifyd
12753 ?        00:00:00 xfce4-notifyd

Also, example scripts from python-notify package show the following:

/usr/share/doc/python-notify/examples$ ./test-basic.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./test-basic.py", line 14, in <module>
    if not n.show():
glib.GError: Unable to connect to server

libnotify is not in dependencies of xfce4-notifyd (why?), but the problem appeared after this upgrade

$ dpkg --list libnotify*
