I used to send notification and alert on Ubuntu by command 'notify-send' and 'alert'. But now I left ubuntu and Started with Trisquel 7.0 LTS!

But I found that command is not working:-

$ alert
bash: notify-send: command not found
$ notify-send
bash: notify-send: command not found


Thus it may some package is not installed:-
$ dpkg -s notify-send
dpkg-query: package 'notify-send' is not installed and no information is available

And I am surprised to see that 'alert' as alias for 'notify-send' still exist but 'notify-send' is not found!
$ alias | head
alias alert='notify-send --urgency=low -i "$([ $? = 0 ] && echo terminal || echo error)" "$(history|tail -n1|sed -e '\''s/^\s*[0-9]\+\s*//;s/[;&|]\s*alert$//'\'')"'

So, Why 'notify-send' is not found (is there any issue with freedom?)? (if not) Then Which package I've to install for 'notify-send'?

OR Is there any other/alternative method to send notification like 'notify-send' without installing any extra package? (don't suggest 'zenity --info' or any dialogbox)

[BTW 'gnome-font-viewer' is also removed from ubuntu to trisquel]
