advertise_service fails in fedora 20

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start script from 
http://code.google.com/p/pybluez/source/browse/trunk/examples/simple/rfcomm-serv
er.py

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: no error
Actual message:
$ python ./rfcomm-server.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./rfcomm-server.py", line 20, in <module>
    profiles = [ SERIAL_PORT_PROFILE ]
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/bluetooth/bluez.py", line 176, in advertise_service
    raise BluetoothError (str (e))
bluetooth.btcommon.BluetoothError: (2, 'No such file or directory')


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Fedora 20
Name        : pybluez
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 0.18
Release     : 7.fc20

Name        : bluez
Arch        : x86_64
Version     : 5.13
Release     : 1.fc20

Additional information:
sdptool does not work either.

Workaround to fix the issue:
I had to change the file
/usr/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service
and add the option --compat to bluetoothd.

exact same issue for me, --compat solved. Thanks OP for workaround.

running pybluez 0.20-2 on up-to-date arch system.
bluez 5.17-1

saw same thing on x86 and arm platform.

As 'sdptool does not work either' does not work either
this seems to be issue outside PyBluez
