Package: blueman Version: 2.4.3-1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: tuk...@gmail.com
Hello! Please have `blueman` recommend both `libspa-0.2-bluetooth` and `pulseaudio-module-bluetooth` rather than just either one. This would have saved me hours of trouble-shooting and many others on-line have reported that not having one of them installed was the source of their problems and that installing both was the final step in getting devices to connect properly. For example: this answer marked as the correct solution on Stack Over-flow: https://superuser.com/a/1686937 I am not suggesting that Blue Man requires both packages to function necessarily but only that having both of them seems beneficial (and even necessary) when the other back-end doesn't work. Since the two packages don't conflict with each other, there is no reason not to recommend the both of them simultaneously when it's been show to solve major connectivity issues. Since these are only recommendations rather than hard-dependencies: users with unusual setup-constraints or personal-preferences are free to disregard the recommendation and install a single back-end if they know what they're doing. For the typical-user with a typical-setup, I fully believe this will be a positive change that will be the difference between this package working as intended rather than not working, for a potentially very large number of users. Thank you very much for your time and consideration of this suggestion. After installing both packages I was able to use bluetooth on Linux for the very first time in my life on my new work computer and your effort as maintainer of this package is the reason I was able to do it.
