opensc does not find libpcsclite which is now in /lib

[Andres Järv]

I got errors about pcscd not finding my SmartCard reader. When I pointed it to the direct location (provider_library = /lib/libpcsclite.so.1) in opensc.conf, everything works. Looks like this is due to libpcsclite, for which the library location was changed some time ago.

Slip of tongue there. It was opensc-tool that didn't find the SmartCard reader which I had configured to work with pcscd.

There is a Debian bug for it: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=531592

opensc (0.11.12-1ubuntu2) lucid; urgency=low

  [ Dominik Fischer ]
  * debian/rules: build with "--with-pcsc-provider=/lib/libpcsclite.so.1",
    as this is the path of libpcsclite in jaunty and above.
  * opensc.install: added westcos-tool + manpage

seems this was fixed in 0.11.12-1ubuntu2 for lucid at least.

please fix this in 9.10 too!
itis real easy - recompile with that simple option (or edit the default opensc.conf file).

Thanks, Andreas

That would be good idea!
