[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#389716: bluez-utils: sdptool fail silently on boot

[Alessandro Valente]

Package: bluez-utils
Version: 3.5-1
Severity: normal

I have SDPTOOL_OPTIONS="add --channel=3 SP" in my /etc/default/bluetooth.
The command fails because kernel modules need time to load. 
I need to insert a "sleep 1" to make things work.

Also sdptool outputs and errors are redirected to /dev/null
and no check is done for errors.

I solved my problem this way:

***

Hope someone find a better solution...
