Bug#1011434: bluetoothctl no longer connects to HC-05

[Graham Knap]

Package: bluez

Version: 5.64-2

In mid-March, I was able to use the following sequence of commands to connect an HC-05 Bluetooth serial module; probably with bluez 5.62-2.

$ sudo rfcomm bind rfcomm0 98:da:50:00:d6:02

$ bluetoothctl connect 98:da:50:00:d6:02

However, today the "bluetoothctl connect" command is failing. Here is the output:

[CHG] Device 98:DA:50:00:D6:02 Connected: yes

[CHG] Device 98:DA:50:00:D6:02 ServicesResolved: yes

Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.NotAvailable br-connection-profile-unavailable

Another change in behaviour that I've noticed is that KDE's bluetooth UI now displays a generic error message when pairing the HC05.

I have not made any configuration changes to my system in the last two months, but I've been generally keeping it updated with Debian testing. Any advice would be appreciated.
