Bluetooth Connection Fails After Upgrade

After a bluez, bluez-utils and bluez-lib upgrade today 30 June, bluetooth either connects with no sound, or Blueman throws the error

Bluez daemon is not running, blueman-manager cannot continue. 
This probably means that there were no bluetooth adapters detected 
or Bluetooth daemon was not started.

I have tried the usual obvious fixes suggested on the forums, to no avail. When I run

 lsmod | grep btusb 

I get

bluetooth   937984  52 btrtl,btmtk,btintel,btbcm,bnep,btusb,rfcomm

  so the adapter is detected.

This occurs on both of my Dell machines, one is a XPS13 9360, the other XPS15 9570. The upgrade on the 9360 included a pacnew of /etc/bluetooth/main.conf. Bluetooth did not work with either or the "old" main.conf or the pacnew version.

Curiously, the upgrade on the 9570, which I ran a few hours after the one on my 9360, did not include a pacnew file.  In any case, the diffs in the main.conf and the pacnew are just comments, no code (as far as I can tell) except for Autoenable=True in my config, which I changed from False when I installed bluez originally.

Is this a bug or can I fix the problem myself?

I downgraded the bluez package and bluetooth is working now. I have added it to my pacman ignore list but my question is can this break my system on subsequent upgrades?

Yep,  I downgraded the 3 packages and problem solved.
