Package: gossip,libnotify1
Version: gossip/0.19-2,libnotify1/0.4.3-2
Severity: serious
Justification: dependencies not tight enough (rendering package unusable)

When I receive a message, Gossip quits. The following is printed to the
console:

gossip: symbol lookup error: gossip: undefined symbol: notify_notification_attach_to_status_icon

This symbol is not present in libnotify1 from testing or unstable, but
it is present in version 0.4.3-2 from experimental. I guess that
gossip (in experimental) should depend on libnotify1 (>= 0.4.3-2) and
that libnotify1 should have its shlibs file updated accordingly.
