[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#584632: bluez-compat: pand fails in 4.63-2, works in 3.36-3

[Marc Lehmann]

Package: bluez-compat
Version: 4.63-2
Severity: normal


pand always gives me "File exists(17)" with the newer package, doesn't
call the if-up script and leaves an interface around.

pand -l does not list anything, pand -K has no effect.

the only way to get rid of the interface is to restart bluetooth.

The call is:

   pand -DES --devup /tmp/panu.up --devdown /tmp/panu.down -c A8:7B:39:C3:B5:C6 -r panu -d gn -e pan0 -n

leading to (with 4.x):

   yama# pand -DES --devup /tmp/panu.up --devdown /tmp/panu.down -c A8:7B:39:C3:B5:C6 -r panu -d gn -e pan0 -n
   pand[3610]: Bluetooth PAN daemon version 4.63
   pand[3610]: Connecting to A8:7B:39:C3:B5:C6
   pand[3610]: Connect to A8:7B:39:C3:B5:C6 failed. File exists(17)

downgrading to 3.x makes it work again:

   yama# pand -DES --devup /tmp/panu.up --devdown /tmp/panu.down -c A8:7B:39:C3:B5:C6 -r panu -d gn -e pan0 -n
   pand[7334]: Bluetooth PAN daemon version 3.36
   pand[7334]: Connecting to A8:7B:39:C3:B5:C6
   pand[7334]: pan0 connected
   pan0 is up <- this is from /tmp/panu.up

and upgrading to 4.x breaks it again.
