[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#640644: bluez: attempted upgrade from 4.94-3 to 4.96-1 causes kernel "oops"

Sat Sep 10 01:04:36 UTC 2011

This seems to be a regression. If I boot kernel 2.6.39-2-powerpc, I
don't get an oops when I reinstall the older version of bluez. (I
don't dare try installing the current testing version!)
