Description Ben Boeckel 2026-02-18 18:58:42 UTC

I updated to bluez-5.86-3.fc43.x86_64 and Bluetooth started failing. Reverting to bluez-5.84-2.fc43.x86_64 works. The patch in -3 doesn't match the patch that actually closed the linked issue. However, after looking closer, I see that 5.84 probably has a lot more changes to 5.86 than the release update I thought it was.
