[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#378446: bluez-utils: Bluetooth subsystem fails to react on PIN code request for outgoing connection

[Paavo Hartikainen]

Package: bluez-utils
Version: 3.1-1
Severity: important

There is no way to react on PIN code requests for outgoing connetions without 
"passkey-agent" running.  Binary can be built from "bluez-utils" source but it 
needs to be included in binary package and running when PIN code request is 
received.

"sudo pand --autozap --role PANU --connect 00:04:61:85:D5:F0"
while "passkey-agent" not running:
