This bug was fixed in the package pcsc-lite - 1.8.3-3ubuntu1

---------------
pcsc-lite (1.8.3-3ubuntu1) quantal; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian unstable (lp: #1001775). Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - debian/rules: Move runtime libraries to /lib, for the benefit of
      wpasupplicant. (See Debian #531592)

pcsc-lite (1.8.3-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * rebuild for multi-arch. See bug #647522

pcsc-lite (1.8.3-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * Fix "invoke-rc.d pcscd start starts the daemon again if allready
    running" do not remove /var/run/pcscd/ if already present (Closes: #666465)

pcsc-lite (1.8.3-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release
  * Fix "fails to start if config directory contains subdirectories"
    fixed upstream (Closes: #658322)
  * debian/control: Standards-Version: 3.9.2 -> 3.9.3. No change needed.
  * Add Build-Depends: dpkg-dev (>= 1.16.1~) so that dpkg-buildflags supports
    --export=configure as we use it in debian/rules. This is needed to easily
    packport the package.
