[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#380452: bluez-utils: suspicios shell redirection

Package: bluez-utils
Version: 3.1-3
Severity: minor

Hi,

in /usr/lib/bluetooth/register-passkeys the agent invocation lines end
as "2>&1 > /dev/null".  Assuming console invocation, this redirects
stderr to the console and stdout to the bit bucket.  Didn't you mean
">/dev/null 2>&1", which redirects both to the bit bucket?  If not, sorry for
the noise.  More to the point, shouldn't the behaviour of add-passkey
change so that these redirections are not necessary?

Thanks,
Feri.
