Package python-osso is not installed.
Package python2.5-osso is not installed.
dialcentral depends on python-hildon | python2.5-hildon; however:
Package python-hildon is not installed.
Package python2.5-hildon is not installed.
Does anyone know if these are available?

I was really hopeful that the taskbar icon / notifications would work in debian, but they do not.

The notification option is totally grey'd out.

Would this work if I had these missing packages?

If not, do you think I could twist your arm Mr. Developer to add support for this on debian? I'm sure all of the ubuntu users would love this as well.

Thanks in advance, and i love DC on my n800.

About getting packages specifically for Debian-based systems, see bug 6103.

As for some of the packages: python-hildon, python-osso, python-alarm (in the Fremantle packages) are all Maemo specific packages. Notification support is built on top of a Maemo specific architecture. It could possibly be adapted to the desktop using upstart/cron/whatever. If you want, file another bug on that.

I think you might prefer my longer term strategy which is to make a telepathy connection manager, called The One Ring, that could allow you to use your IM program to do all of this.
