mail-notification cannot install: "Depends: libeel2-2 but it is not going to be installed"

Binary package hint: mail-notification

Attempting to install mail-notification fails like this:

"""
# apt-get install mail-notification
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:

This is with hardy, freshly upgraded 2002-02-05 08:45 -0500.

I tried removing libeel2-2 (and all its dependencies) and then installing mail-notification: same problem.
