Thanks Adam, but that doesn't work. I understand that the packages need
to be installed, and that it appears they are not... but I can't find
them.

I tried searching for all bluetooth packages in synaptic before adding
to this thread. Do I need to enable additional repositories? Am I just
getting the package names wrong?

In addition to a synaptic search for "bluetooth", I tried a few
different apt-get installs with the following results:

:~$ sudo apt-get install bluetooth gnome-bluetooth
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package bluetooth

:~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-bluetooth
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Package gnome-bluetooth is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package gnome-bluetooth has no installation candidate


:~$ sudo apt-get install hcitool
