[Bug 913648] Re: Unable to send/recieve files using bluetooth

I tried to reopen this bug but the options were grayed out?
I was able to send files via bluetooth but not receive them.

The status is fix released but Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (mathieu-tl) does not proposes fix.
He stated 'Closing as Fix Released since as far as I know everything in this works properly'.
What logic was used to closed under 'fix released' is beyond my grasp.

Anyway.
comment 5, which suggested installing 'obexpushd' resolved the issue for me.
I restarted the bluetooth daemon after installing obexpushd

Would someone who has the ability reopen this bug.

obexpushd is neither a dependency nor  recommends for gnome-user-share.  Make it so.
obex-data-server is a dependency but it appears only to support pushing files, not receiving them

rperkins at htpc:~$ dpkg-query -W -f='Depends ----- ${Depends}\n Recommends ----- ${Recommends}\n' gnome-user-share

obex-data-server is D-Bus service providing high-level OBEX client and server side functionality. It cur‐
       rently supports OPP (Object Push Profile), FTP (File Transfer profile) and partially BIP  (Basic  Imaging
       profile).  Supported  transports  are  Bluetooth, USB (client only) or TTY. obex-data-server exposes it's
       functionality through 'org.openobex' namespace in D-Bus.

obexpushd is a program that can be used to receive files using OBEX (OBject EXchange) protocol over
       Bluetooth, IrDA or network connection. It can be used to receive files from mobile phones and other
       devices.
