you either need to add libnotify-qt (the fork) as a dependency or init the git submodule

@edarblanco, manually installing icu76 fixes that error. @robertfoster, icu76 should be added as a dependency for whatsie.

Well, after updating this morning, this happens to me and when I check the console, this is the message:

whatsie: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.76: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This patch makes it work for now:

This error is happening due to the parsing of pkgver string, this will be fixed soon.

Does not compile:
