Bug Description

After upgrading a machine from Ubuntu Bionic to Ubuntu Focal yesterday, the following error message showed up in the syslog:

Oct 2 23:14:52 desktop01 dbus-daemon[1764]: [session uid=0 pid=1760] Activated service 'org.bluez.obex' failed: Failed to execute program org.bluez.obex: No such file or directory

Upon inspection, this was due to the fact that the service definition contained the line 'Exec=@libexecdir@/obexd' which could not be resolved (this placeholder is supposedly to be replaced at build time).

Replacing '@libexecdir@' with '/usr/lib/bluetooth' resolved this (together with 'systemctl --user daemon-reload; systemctl --user restart obex').

Note that this problem should be part of *all* current versions of the bluez[-obexd] package, regardless of the used architecture (including Focal, Impish):

Yes the bug seems to exist on impish in:

  /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.bluez.obex.service

Looks like it might originate from this 2013 patch:

  patches/0001-Allow-using-obexd-without-systemd-in-the-user-sessio.patch

Perhaps it is meant to be @pkglibexecdir@ ?

Looks like Debian already fixed it. And their patch names are different :P
