** Description changed:

  When using the latest indicator-bluetooth on the Nexus 4 (mako) and
  Ubuntu Touch switching bluetooth on/off is impossible, as the state
  never changes. Same when doing it from the ubuntu-system-settings.
  
  The unity8.log upstart log has this in it:
- Can't open /dev/rfkill  for use as a killswitch backend: Permission denied 
- Couldn't write rfkill event: Bad file descriptor 
  Can't open /dev/rfkill  for use as a killswitch backend: Permission denied
+ Couldn't write rfkill event: Bad file descriptor
+ Can't open /dev/rfkill  for use as a killswitch backend: Permission denied
+ 
+ 
+ [Impact]
+  * User has no chance to switch bluetooth on or off which can also pose a security problem when having bluetooth on all the time.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+  * Try to switch BT on/off via indicator or system settings.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+  * None really as it cannot be more broken as it is currently.
