Package: pcscd
Version: 1.8.4-1
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrade squeeze -> wheezy failed due to the postinstall-script exiting with
error code 1. Exact error code was:
"dpkg: Fehler beim Bearbeiten von pcscd (--configure):
Unterprozess installiertes post-installation-Skript gab den Fehlerwert 1
zurück"
A debug session on irc showed the following problems of the post-install-
scirpt:
a) The pcscd-group was already existing on my computer due to the previous
install. However, it was not a system group at that time. Making the output of
the postinstall-script more verbose, one could see that the script breaks at
that point: ("addgroup: Die Gruppe »pcscd« existiert bereits und ist keine
Systemgruppe. Programmende.").
-> Proposed patch from the IRC-experts: Replace the line
"addgroup --system pcscd --quiet"
by
"if ! getent group pcscd > /dev/null 2>&1 ; then addgroup --system pcscd
--quiet; fi"
b) the follwoing line seems also to be problematic and the following
replacement was proposed:
Instead of
[ -x /bin/systemctl ] && [ -d /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd ] && systemctl enable
pcscd.socket
rather
if [ -x /bin/systemctl -a -d /sys/fs/cgroup/systemd ]; then systemctl enable
pcscd.socket; fi
The failed upgrade from wheezy -> squeeze breaks the use of chipcardreaders
necessary for homebanking software.
It would be nice to have a fix in the package for the next point release
(7.0.1)
