Title:
  [Regresision] 15:10 - Cannot pair with devices using PIN codes

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Bluez 5.3 does not have support for pairing with devices (such as
  keyboards) that use a PIN code for pairing.

  A mouse pairs correctly.

  From my research it seems as if the ChromeOS project developed patches
  to fix this and they are supposed to have been included in Bluez 5.4
  (that statement dated April 2013) but I've not yet identified them.

  "The agent's implementation in bt_console/bluetoothctl upstream is
  incomplete, missing some functions like DisplayPincode."

  https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=222661

  Along with the loss of Headset profiles meaning VoIP applications can
  no longer use HSP/HFP profiles (requiring functionality yet to land in
  Ofono) this cripples the use of Bluetooth for much else than A2DP or
  mouse input.

  Attempting to pair with, for example, an Apple Wireless Keyboard that
  pairs and works correctly with 14.04 LTS, fails totally on 15.10.

  The mouse shown below is already paired, connected, and working.

  $ bluetoothctl

  Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationFailed

  This cycle repeats in various permuations. Sometimes the final
  "Request PIN code" does not appear.
