[Charles Marslett]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bluez

Attempted to replace bluez 4.45-0ubuntu1 with bluez_4.45-0ubuntu3.

Just did a clean install (formatted the partition) from the rsync'ed
Studio Alternate 32-bit iso of 7/14/09 AM; followed by a Reload/Mark All
Upgrades/Apply sequence.

Here is (most if not all of) the "apt-get upgrade" log text:
