Package: pcscd
Version: 1.9.5-1
Followup-For: Bug #1001155
Hello,
I just encountered the same problem. Digging into it (and before having
found this bug in the BTS) I saw the postinst script of pcscd restarts
the daemon twice. Once explicitly in debian/pcscd.postinst:
case "$1" in
configure|reconfigure)
# restart pcscd (PCSC daemon)
invoke-rc.d pcscd restart
;;
and again later added by dh_installinit/13.5.2:
if [ "$1" = "configure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-upgrade" ] || [ "$1" =
"abort-deconfigure" ] || [ "$1" = "abort-remove" ] ; then
if [ -z "${DPKG_ROOT:-}" ] && [ -x "/etc/init.d/pcscd" ]; then
update-rc.d pcscd defaults >/dev/null
invoke-rc.d --skip-systemd-native pcscd restart || exit
1

Even if you consider it a bug to mask pcscd.socket but not pcscd.service
(I disagree BTW), I still ask you to remove the explicit call to
invoke-rc.d pcscd restart, as the snippet added by dh_installinit should
serve the same purpose and this doesn't fail with pcscd.socket masked.
The latter invocation of invoke-rc.d is also better as it honors policy
9.3.3 "Maintainer scripts for packages including init scripts must use
update-rc.d [...]." So keeping the status quo might even justify a
serious severity for this bug.
(Note: There is one relevant difference, where I'm unsure if the snippet
added by dh_installinit is better: The explicit call also triggers for
$1 == reconfigure.)
Best regards
Uwe
