[Bug 472823] [NEW] opensc no longer finds card reader

[Markus Kilås]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: opensc

1) Ubuntu 9.10

2) opensc-0.11.8-1ubuntu1, libopensc2-0.11.8-1ubuntu1

3) Expecting a result like this when running an older version:
$ opensc-explorer 
OpenSC Explorer version 0.11.4
Error: can't open /var/run/openct/status: No such file or directory
Error: can't open /var/run/openct/status: No such file or directory
Error: can't open /var/run/openct/status: No such file or directory
Error: can't open /var/run/openct/status: No such file or directory
Error: can't open /var/run/openct/status: No such file or directory
OpenSC [3F00]>

Which is okey (ignore the warnings).

4) What instead happens is this:
$ opensc-explorer 
OpenSC Explorer version 0.11.8
Error: can't open /var/run/openct/status: No such file or directory
Error: can't open /var/run/openct/status: No such file or directory

[opensc-explorer] reader-pcsc.c:1015:pcsc_detect_readers: returning with: No readers found
Error: can't open /var/run/openct/status: No such file or directory
Error: can't open /var/run/openct/status: No such file or directory
Error: can't open /var/run/openct/status: No such file or directory
Card not present.

Notice the line saying that there is "No readers found".

Running "pcsc_scan" shows the connected reader and a lot of information
from the card so there is no problem with pcsc or the card or the card
reader.
