Severity: normal

Hello,

Could you please drop the /etc/pkcs11 symlink in opencryptoki? Afaik
opencryptoki used to place files in /etc/pkcs11 instead of
/var/lib/opencryptoki _a_ _long_ _time_ _ago_, up to version 2.1. Later
versions suggested to temporarily add a compatibilty symlink to ease
migration. The first version packaged for Debian was after the switch
(2.2.4, in 2007).

Nowadays this causes problems for p11-kit which uses /etc/pkcs11/ as
base configuration directory:

* I have been asked to ship a (empty) /etc/pkcs11/ directory in p11-kit
  which would require a Conflicts with opencryptoki.
* /var/lib/opencryptoki's access permissions are restrictive, therefore
  p11-kit cannot follow the /etc/pkcs11 symlink to check for config
  files.

Thanks in advance, cu Andreas
