And another round. This time I can really confirm that the missing reload of the dbus service is the issue at hand.

So the method how Upstart reloads services has changed between Precise and Trusty. Trusty's version of initctl doesn't have backwards compatibility with Precise's Upstart version when it comes to reloading services and this is an issue for the dist-upgrade case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301962 Title: package update of bluez 4.98-2ubuntu7 (Precise) to 4.101-0ubuntu10 (Trusty) fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez/+bug/1301962/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
