Bug description

Nordvpn does not display Status Message Pop-Up after system update.

Steps to reproduce

After an upgrade to my Debian 12 installation on a Dell 3120 Latitude laptop, I noticed that the status message pop-ups no longer were being displayed. After installing XFCE4 Desktop, and booting into XFCE4, the status messages began displaying normally. I prefer Cinnamon Desktop so I removed the XFCE4 Desktop from the computer so I could use as-is, Then I rebooted into Cinnamon Desktop as before, but this time, status pop-ups still worked normally. Then after installing an removing XFCE4 several time, I noticed, when I had done a full purge of XFCE4, that the Cinnamon installation needed to have libnotify-bin installed before Nordvpn status pop-up messages would work properly.

Expected behavior

What is supposed to happen is when a new Nordvpn site is selected, a pop-up message will be displayed indicating the change. After installing libnotify-bin, status pop-up messages display as expected.

Additional information

I do not know how to notify the appropriate maintainer, but I hope someone else does. The issue is minor and does not effect Nordvpn, but when something stops working as expected, I try to find a fix. It is my opinion that when the last updates were rolled out, libnotify-bin was not part of Debian 12 anymore and when issuing apt autoremove, libnotify-bin gets removed for some reason, which breaks the notifications feature. It would appear that libnotify-bin needs to be re-added to the package repository. For now, it has to be manually installed for the status pop-ups to work.
