gnome-bluetooth issues

Hi.

I have what I think is just about everything required for Bluetooth connectivity installed, and my USB dongle is recognised:

ste@xenu ~> hciconfig
  hci0:    Type: USB
    BD Address: 00:13:46:11:A7:54 ACL MTU: 192:8 SCO MTU: 64:8
    UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN 
    RX bytes:77 acl:0 sco:0 events:9 errors:0
    TX bytes:31 acl:0 sco:0 commands:8 errors:0

But gnome-bluetooth-manager doesn't even start:

ste@xenu ~> gnome-bluetooth-manager   
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gnomebt/manager.py", line 36, in ?
    from gnomebt import iconlist, controller, hig_alert
ImportError: libbluetooth.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any ideas folks?

Re: gnome-bluetooth issues

Yes - gnome-bluetooth needs to be rebuilt, to accommodate yesterday's upgrade of bluez-libs and bluez-utils. A bug report has already been posted, so you can either wait for the new gnome-bluetooth package, rebuild it yourself using ABS, or downgrade to the previous 2.25 versions. I chose the downgrade option myself, for other reasons - I'm not a gnome user.
