I was trying to figure what happens on your system in order to decide whether it is the packaging or not. But you gave no answer: "Can you please confirm that you don't get the DBus errors if you start the chipcard daemon when HAL is running on your system?" Sorry for not giving you more precise instructions earlier, but from what I've read from you it didn't really sound like a dumb user... Is hal installed at all on your system? What output do you get by running "dpkg -l hal" on your system? If it is not installed, you have deliberately elided the package dependency of libchipcard-tools recommending hal. Then please install hal manually first. Please run the following commands and report back the resulting output after every command: /etc/init.d/libchipcard-tools stop /etc/init.d/hal stop /etc/init.d/hal start /etc/init.d/libchipcard-tools start After this procedure you shouldn't get any errors (if the issue really is what I believe). > If HAL is a dependency of libchipcard and is not found running (eg.

I totally agree -- any patch is appreciated. Feel free to contribute and improve free software.
