It appears that the problem is the installation of the portio perl
module, which is installed as part of the aircraft-manager package. This
module is installed in such a way that it cannot be imported in Jaunty,
which leads to various failures when aircraft-manager-util is run.

Bug description:
I am not sure if this should be bug or a wishlist. BUT aircraft-manager crashes miserably when I add the package to a Jaunty Ubuntu-Netbook-Remix. I wanted that aircraft manager installed to turn off and on my bluetooth support mostly.

I did dig into the code of aircraft manager and discovered two incompatibilities with the UNR live image for Jaunty. First the kernel is missing a module called hci_usb which may explain why bluetooth notification icon does not appear. I know this cause I ran the command that this app ran directly in a terminal. 

Second the d-bus messages for network manager appear to have changed which does explain why it crashes in the first place. I know this cause it spews "dbus.exceptions.DBus Exceptions: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "getWirelessEnabled" with signature "" on interface ("null") doesn't exist. This method is called with getWifiState() on line 300 of aircraft-manager.

As I said I am unsure how this should be handled :/ but I think that aircraft-manager should be usuable in Jaunty even if the entire mini9 package set stays with Hardy. It seems only common sense to keep those brave mini9 users happy.
