[regression oneiric] Impossible to connect to bluetooth devices, bluetooth-applet goes to 100% CPU

[Séverin Lemaignan]

As soon as I try to browse a bluetooth device (files on my phone), the bluetooth-applet process starts eating CPU (between 70% and 100%), and nothing happens.

This use to work on Natty, with the exact same devices.

Slightly different symptoms for me.
I try to connect via bluetooth to a Nokia N900 phone (which worked in Ubuntu 11.04).
The pairing of devices works in 11.10 (get the same 6-digit number on both devices, confirm and it succeeds).
Browsing from ubuntu 11.10 of the files on the N900 fails with no cpu-hogging.

dmesg gives this line:

[ 1481.174050] bluetooth-apple[2331]: segfault at 80 ip 00007fa721349cf4 sp 00007fffa8da0dc0 error 4 in libgnome-bluetooth.so.8.0.0[7fa721339000+1a000]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and upload the backtrace (as an attachment) to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

The instructions you referred to assume that one already knows the name of the failing package, but I don't.
The dmesg output said that a segfault ocurred in "bluetooth-apple", but there is no package by that name.
dmesg also mentions libgnome-bluetooth.so.8.0.0, which can be found in the package "libgnome-bluetooth8".
So I tried that, following the instructions upto step 5:

# apt-cache policy libgnome-bluetooth8
libgnome-bluetooth8:
  Installed: 3.2.0-0ubuntu2
  Candidate: 3.2.0-0ubuntu2
  Version table:
 *** 3.2.0-0ubuntu2 0
        500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     3.2.0-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main amd64 Packages

However, in step 6:
# apt-get install libgnome-bluetooth8-dbgsym=3.2.0-0ubuntu2
 Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '3.2.0-0ubuntu2' for 'libgnome-bluetooth8-dbgsym' was not found

Trying Synaptic, I found libgnome-bluetooth8-dbgsym version 3.2.0-0ubuntu1, but it can't be installed since it conflicts somehow with the installed version 3.2.0-0ubuntu2

Is there another way to get the debugsyms, or should I try with another package?
