Hello, I'm in the same situation. I own a ACR30U-EGC smart-card reader (identified as 072f:0001 Advanced Card Systems, Ltd AC1030-based SmartCard Reader) which does not work with opencs/pcscd/libccid.
Installing openct from [1] and following the instructions in [2] everything seems to work fine (well, the card reader gets detected and so my smart card; did not tried to actually use it). It clearly all depended from the files installed by openct: $ dpkg -S /usr/lib/pcsc/drivers/* libccid: /usr/lib/pcsc/drivers/ifd-ccid.bundle openct: /usr/lib/pcsc/drivers/openct-ifd.bundle libccid: /usr/lib/pcsc/drivers/serial So, I think openct should be reintroduced in Debian because it provides some smart card drivers. I read about the package removal in [3], but not many users are also subscribers of Debian ML... :) Regards -- Alessio Gaeta [1] http://snapshot.debian.org/package/openct/0.6.20-1.2/ [2] https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/118996 (comment #6) [3] http://opensc.1086184.n5.nabble.com/Is-openct-dead-td14661.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
