/var/run/openct/status: No such file or directory

OpenSC has support for three driver types : PCSC, OpenCT and CT-API. Belpic only needs PC/SC, and will produce errors/warnings if you leave support for OpenCT enabled.

Fix:
Edit /etc/beidbase.conf, and insert a statement that limits the use of drivers to pcsc. Right before the reader_driver config feels like an OK place to do this :

## specify driver family pcsc.
# Others (openct, ..) are not needed for Belpic and
# may produce errors/warnings

        reader_drivers = pcsc ;

 reader_driver pcsc {
     ....

Might as well include it in the beidbase.conf provided by the package, i think.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

Darn it, missed this when fixing the libpcsc bug. Yes, this issue still exists in Gutsy.

This bug still exists in Hardy too, wondering if it shall be fixed in Karmic ?
