Looks like there is file conflict between the pre-installed packages bt- dw1705-firmware and linux-firmware. As the linux-firmware package now contains the necessary file, you can remove the bt-dw1705-firmware package from Ubuntu Software Center or by the command 'sudo apt-get remove bt-dw1705-firmware' on the command line.
