Patch fixing the issue

libnotify specifies a number of libraries in 'Requires'. This means that each application linking against it will directly link against all those libraries as well. This is incorrect, and results in broken packages at some point.

The 'Requires' should be 'Requires.private'. This way, pkg-config will list all those libraries only when linking statically (passing the '--static' option to pkg-config); and '-lnotify' only when using dynamic linking.

Ah, nevermind, just found out the old bug. I thought it was gone with the old bugzie on galago.
