[Pkg-virtualbox-devel] Bug#792292: virtualbox-guest-x11: Uses notify-send which may not be installed

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Package: virtualbox-guest-x11
Version: 4.3.28-dfsg-1+b1
Severity: normal

The file

/etc/X11/Xsession.d/98vboxadd-xclient

uses the command "notify-send" which is in the package libnotify-bin. But
libnotify-bin is not in the depends, recommends or suggests. On my system
it was not installed and I had the following in my ~/.xsession-errors:

/etc/X11/Xsession: 26: /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98vboxadd-xclient: notify-send: not found

The package libnotify-bin should be either in the depends, recommends or suggests, and
in any case /etc/X11/Xsession.d/98vboxadd-xclient ought to handle the situation more
gracefully if the command is not available.

Best regards
Torquil Sørensen
