Package: blueman
Version: 1.99~alpha1-1
Severity: grave

Since I upgraded this laptop to jessie, I cannot use Blueman to connect
to the internet by tethering to my phone.

I think this is an upstream bug described here:

https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/issues/161

In the GUI, I see "No such file or directory" in the status bar.

I am able to workaround the problem by using commandline tools to
connect to the phone, so I don't believe the phone or the BlueZ stack is
the problem. The workaround is to use rfcomm directly, in my case:

rfcomm -r -A -E -M connect rfcomm0 <bluetoothaddr>

where <bluetoothaddr> is a MAC-like address I see from the bluetoothctl
list output, once I figure out how to enable bluetooth (ironically,
through blueman-applet).

I insist on pointing out this is a regression from Wheezy and should
really be fixed before jessie is released, hence the "grave" severity
above. Bluetooth has little purpose on this laptop but this
functionality, and I suspect this is the case with a lot of people.

I am available for debugging this further as necessary, but I would
seriously consider downgrading back to the stable version (1.23) while
upstream works on 2.0, which seems to be more in an alpha state.
According to this bug report, this is a known problem:
