Hello,
I have a critical problem with claws mail and my mouse and keyboard combo. It's a bluetooth set and after switching from sylpheed to claws-mail yesterday (I realised that sylpheed still saves passwords as plain text) arch did not recognize neither my keyboard nor my mouse. So I booted from a live cd, chrooted into my arch machine and searched the pacman log for anything suspicious. I saw that claws-mail installed "bluez" and obviously this thing breaks my keyboard and mouse. I uninstalled bluez and all works fine.
Unfortunately I want to use claws-mail and claws-mail needs bluez (or better it needs "pilot-link", which needs "bluez") as a dependency, so can anybody help me with this problem?
Thanks

OK, I just found a workaround:
either deleting "/lib/udev/rules.d/97-bluetooth-hid2hci.rules" (from the bluez package) or uncommenting the "logitech" part in this file solves my problem. According to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=122302 it has something to do in which mode (hci or hid) the bluetooth dongle runs.

//Edit: OK, I was able to solve the issue in a clean way, now the dongle runs in hci-mode and I connect my keyboard and mouse directly via my systems bluetooth service (a nice side-effect is that I can now connect even other bluetooth devices via that dongle), if anybody has the same issue see here
