Bug Description
I recently ran into an issue trying to install a 32-bit package which depends on libpcsclite1. That package drew in the i386 package for libpcsclite1, which conflicted with and subsequently uninstalled the 64-bit version, which in turn uninstalled wpasupplicant and network-manager (this only really happened because I failed to pay close enough attention to the consequences of installing the package).
If possible, this package should be made multiarch compatible.

I agree to support multi-arch.
If someone can provide a patch I will integrate it in the Debian version of pcsc-lite. Or I will have to write the patch myself but it may take some time.
