Dear Maintainer,

That is the true error here, https://github.com/Guake/guake/issues/2110

You need to install "gir1.2-notify-0.7 > 0.8.1-1" to make it work again.

Followup-For: Bug #1015176

Problem is now solved. "guake" starts normaly. That is because of the recent upgrade,
I guess (gir1.2-notify-0.7:amd64 (0.8.0-1, 0.8.1-1)).


Thanks for your work!
