Package: bluez
Version: 4.96-1
Severity: important

After a large dist-upgrade today, typing on bluetooth keyboard had no
effect.  Initial investigation follows.  Please advise how to proceed.

The relevant bluez upgrades were as follows.
The kernel was not upgraded; it is 2.6.38-2-amd64.
dbus was not upgraded; it is 1.5.6-1.

    2011-09-27 16:28:07 upgrade bluez 4.94-2 4.96-1
    2011-09-27 17:54:29 upgrade libbluetooth3 4.94-2 4.96-1
    2011-09-27 12:53:40 upgrade python-dbus 0.84.0-1 0.84.0-2
    2011-09-27 17:54:50 upgrade libdbus-glib-1-2 0.94-4 0.96-1

The keyboard was configured as described in the ticket below; it is
the same keyboard.  I do not use bluetooth for anything else.
