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!
