This is because I added a versioned dependency, while bluez from testing
doesn't have a versioned provides. Actually, the bluez in testing is
totally incompatible with bluez-libs from extra, so providing bluez-libs
is bullshit anyways.
I have bluez in my IgnorePkg for a long time already. Bluez in testing
is a mess at this moment.
