Hi,

Sure no problem, it's a simple fix:

https://github.com/AyatanaIndicators/ayatana-indicator-messages/pull/5

There's another issue - the fork from Ubuntu winded the version back -
0.6.0 when in Ubuntu it was 13.xx, so existing applications that check
for a minimum version, like the pidgin-libnotify patch that ships in
Ubuntu, fail the check now. Not sure how it's best to deal with this.
