Package: libnotify-bin
Version: 0.3.2-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hi,
When running notify-send on ppc it just hangs. A quick look at the source
reveals that it is a simple unsigned vs. signed char problem.
Using int instead of char for the poptGetNextOpt return value (like the
prototype says) fixes the problem.
