This bug was fixed in the package pcsc-lite - 1.7.0-2ubuntu1 --------------- pcsc-lite (1.7.0-2ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low * Merge from Debian Unstable (FFe LP: #723016). Remaining changes: * debian/rules: Keep moving runtime libraries to /lib, for the benefit of wpasupplicant. pcsc-lite (1.7.0-2) unstable; urgency=low * Fix "fails to install" add a Depends: adduser so that addgroup is available (Closes: #617698) pcsc-lite (1.7.0-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release * Fix "uses deprecated HAL" fixed upstream by using libudev instead (Closes: #587979) * Fix "please drop dependency on pcscd". libpcsclite1 now Recommends: instead of Depends: on pcscd (Closes: #612971) * debian/control: add a Build-Depends: pkg-config since we use it to detect the presence of libudev pcsc-lite (1.6.7-1) unstable; urgency=low * New upstream release * Fix "missing dependency for libccid > 1.4" pcscd now depends on version >= 1.4.1~ of libccid. Previous versions of libccid do not have the udev rule file to set the device permissions so the reader is not usable with the pcscd when run as NON root (Closes: #613404) * Fix "missing dependecy for libpcsclite1 in fiting version" libpcsclite1 now depends on the exact same version of pcscd instead of just conflicting with a previous version of pcscd (Closes: #613405) pcsc-lite (1.6.6-2) unstable; urgency=low * upload to unstable * pcscd.dirs: remove usr/share/lintian/overrides since the override file was removed in 1.6.5-1 pcsc-lite (1.6.6-1) experimental; urgency=low * New upstream release * Fix "Regression: My card{,-reader} fails with 1.6.5-1" bug fixed upstream (Closes: #606121) * Fix "pcscd - Unneeded high privileges" pcscd is now running as a normal user in the pcscd group (Closes: #606142) See http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com/2010/09/pcscd-auto-start.html The driver package shall privide a udev rule file to set the correct permissions on the device. libccid does that. pcsc-lite (1.6.5-1) experimental; urgency=low * New upstream release * debian/rules: do not install pcscd suid root * debian/pcscd.lintian-overrides: removed since no more lintian warnings * debian/pcscd.init: create $IPCDIR with correct access rights * debian/pcscd.postinst: create the pcscd group and setgid pcscd to it * debian/pcscd.README.Debian: remove outdated "pscsd starts before usbmgr" section and add "pscsd sgid pcscd" section pcsc-lite (1.6.4-1) experimental; urgency=low * New upstream release * debian/rules: install pcscd suid root. This was broken in previous packages. * debian/control: remove Conflicts: libccid (<= 1.0.0-1) stable (lenny) already has libccid 1.3.8 lintian complained that Breaks should be used instead pcsc-lite (1.6.3-1) experimental; urgency=low * New upstream release pcsc-lite (1.6.2-1) experimental; urgency=low * New upstream release * debian/rules: use the minimal dh rules * debian/control: Standards-Version: 3.8.4 -> 3.9.1. No change needed. * Fix "depends on pcscd which is priority: extra". The 3 packages are now priority "optional" (Closes: #591151) pcsc-lite (1.6.1-1) experimental; urgency=low * New upstream release pcsc-lite (1.6.0-2) experimental; urgency=low * install an /etc/init.d/pcscd file again but with the daemon disabled. This should ease upgrades and allow users to still start the daemon on startup if needed. pcsc-lite (1.6.0-1) experimental; urgency=low * New upstream release * debian/libpcsclite-dev.install: do not install libpcsclite.a since it is no more built upstream. * configure pcscd to use --enable-confdir=/etc/reader.conf.d instead of /var/lib/pcscd since pcscd can now parse a directory and each file in it. . Also remove update-reader.conf(8) script and related files since it is now useless. . pcscd.postinst now removes the unused files instead of calling update-reader.conf. This script can be removed for squeeze+1 * debian/source/format: use "3.0 (quilt)" format * debian/rules: add --sysconfdir=/etc * do not start pcscd at startup any more. pcscd is started by libpcsclite.so when needed. But install pcscd as setuid root now. You can restrict the access rights of pcscd to limit its use to a particular group if needed. * debian/control: libpcsclite1 now Depends: instead of Suggests: on pcscd The daemon is not started at boot time but only on request so the CPU cost is zero if not used. -- Nicolas Derive
