Where is the indicator-messages binary located or from which package is the binary for the Indicator where Evolution and Empathy messages are shown?

dpkg -L indicator-messages | grep bin

shows me nothing.

  1. It is not in the regular bin directory as it is not an application which should be run directly by the user. It is /usr/lib/indicator-messages/indicator-messages-service instead, as it is launched programmatically by other means.

    If you simply want to not have it ever shown, you can simply do sudo apt-get remove --purge indicator-messages and kill the existing process, or log out and back in.
