Bug#663098: regression in gvfs to connect/browse using obex

[James M. Leddy]

Package: gvfs
Version: 1.10.0-0

The version of gvfs in sid has a regression which causes bluetooth
browsing not to work. Instead of properly connecting and mounting an
obex mount point via gvfs, the user is presented with an error:

Error mounting location: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application
did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply,
the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

Bisection revealed that the first bad version is gvfs-1.8.0-1. The cause
of the problem is 05_shared_libdaemon.patch which never made it
upstream. I'm unsure why this change causes dbus timeouts.

I have built a version of gvfs that works for me, but I could not figure
out a way to build without reintroducing the libgvfscommon0 package.
Without this, dpkg-shlibdeps complains, though I don't think
libgvfscommon0 has anything to do with fixing the bug and would like to
see these libraries in the gvfs and gvfs-backend packages as they are today.
