[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#639670: bluedevil: Manual Pin option in the add device wizard does not work

[Jason Alasola]

Package: bluedevil
Version: 1.1-1
Severity: normal


Some bluetooth devices without keyboards have a hardcoded pin code on them used for pairing. (The device I'm testing with has a hardcoded code of 1234)

For such a device you are supposed to manually set a pin while pairing to match the one hardcoded into the device.

However when clicking 'Add Device...' in the kde bluetooth wizard and ticking Manual PIN: and setting the pin to 1234 on the next step in the wizard I'm instead presented with a randomly generated pin number (just like I'd get if I'd not ticked the Manual PIN option).   From what I can see in my testing the 'Manual PIN:' option has no effect at all on how the wizard functions.    

It looks like upstream have looked at this (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=277878) but I'm not seeing a working patch there currently based on the reporters feedback in that bug report.
