[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#628491: bluez: hid2hci missing

[Cristian Ionescu-Idbohrn]

Package: bluez
Version: 4.93-1
Severity: important

The man page /usr/share/man/man8/hid2hci.8.gz is there though.

I've built the package from source and manually copied hid2hci to
/usr/sbin.  Also modified the program path in
/lib/udev/rules.d/62-bluez-hid2hci.rules:

-  RUN+="hid2hci --method=logitech-hid --devpath=%p"
+  RUN+="/usr/sbin/hid2hci --method=logitech-hid --devpath=%p"

hoping udev will do use the rule and enable the dongle (a Logitech diNovo
Edge).  But that rule is seemingly not used, hid2hci not RUN.  I wasn't
able to make use of it when running it manually, either.  See also #626975
for more details.

Downgrading to 4.91-1 solved the immediate problem.
