bluetoothd dies with "undefined symbol: sdp_uuid_cmp"

[Viktor Kojouharov]

The bluez daemon segfaults every time I try to connect to an a2dp headset. The following error appears when I try to run it in the foreground:
bluetoothd: symbol lookup error: bluetoothd: undefined symbol: sdp_uuid_cmp

Hello,

Could you kill the bluetoothd deamon, and launch it again in in debug mode (switch -d -n), and try to reproduce the problem.
Then, attach the crash stacktrace here.

Thanks

[Expired for bluez (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Martin Emrich (emme)]

Just had the same problem with natty amd64.

I fixed it by rebuilding bluez:

# apt-get build-dep bluez
# apt-get source bluez
# cd bluez-*
# fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
# cd ..
dpkg -i *.deb

Interestingly, the installation complained that I downgraded from 1:4.39-0ubuntu2 zu 4.91-0ubuntu1. The epoch aside, this was a big version leap (4.39 to 4.91).

So obviously I had installed 3rd-party packages before, which interfered with natty's bluetooth packages.
