Bug#574651: gnome-bluetooth: /dev/rfkill permissions incorrect

Package: gnome-bluetooth
Version: 2.28.6-2
Severity: important


Upon startup, bluetooth-applet reports:

** (bluetooth-applet:28953): WARNING **: Could not open RFKILL control device, please verify your installation

The problem is apparently that the permissions of /dev/rfkill are 'crw-r--r-- 1 root root'.

The README states:

Note that read/write access to the /dev/rfkill device is required and should be
provided by the distribution
