[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#587158: Bug 587158

[stephane at shimaore.net]

Hi,

I had the same issue ("bluetoothd[]: D-Bus setup failed: Connection is
not allowed to own the service "org.bluez" due to security policies in
the configuration file file").

The root cause of the issue seems to be that the configuration file

  /etc/dbus-1/system.d/bluetooth.conf

was missing on my system. (etckeeper reports that the file was removed on
2017-07-05, if that's any help.)

For the record, this could not be resolved by doing

  aptitude reinstall bluez

or the equivalent sequence (remove + install); these did not reinstall
the missing file.

I corrected by doing

  aptitude purge bluez
  aptitude install bluez

The former version on my system (reported during the purge operation) was
bluez (5.47-1), although this probably is not the version that caused
the problem.
