Package: bluez Followup-For: Bug #997853 Hi, I just encountered the same problem when upgrading a machine from Buster to Bullseye.
I also had the same override filename, and I had also put a link to where it came from: ➜ ~ cat /etc/systemd/system/bluetooth.service.d/01-disable-sap-plugin.conf # https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/40839/sap-error-on-bluetooth-service-status # SIM Access profile problem [Service] ExecStart= ExecStart=/usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd --noplugin=sap I had used this as a workaround for the bluetooth services failing to start due to a sap driver failure. It looks like this problem no longer exists on Bullseye so you are safe to remove the file: # rm /etc/systemd/system/bluetooth.service.d/01-disable-sap-plugin.conf # systemctl daemon-reexec # systemctl restart bluetooth You should find it works after that.
