[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#565318: obexd-server thought as the new implementation of the old obex-data-server

[Andrea Veri]

Package: obexd-server
Version: 0.14-1
Severity: grave

The old obexd maintainer did a transition between obexd-server and obex-data-server thinking that they bot ship the same D-Bus API but this is not right. They are different packages and as far as I know no package is currently using obexd-server to work at the moment. (e.g no GNOME package does yet)

The great problem is that obexd-server conflicts with obex-data-server which means that quite all the devices that should use obex-data-server (like many functionalities of gnome-bluetooth and more) are now completely unusable.

We need to be able to bump up obex-data-server dropping obexd-server otherwise we won't have a working bluetooth support. (e.g Fedora don't even ship a obexd-server package at all)

This bug needs to be fixed ASAP, I'm CCing Joss so that we can help out fixing this issue. If you don't have enough time for this we will try to think about a working solution and then upload a fixed package.

Thanks in advance,

Andrea
