The file /etc/reader.conf.d/0comments was remove in pcsc-lite 1.6.0-1 released in May 2010, 11 years ago! See https://salsa.debian.org/debian/pcsc-lite/-/commit/c29340f7296666c897ffcbcc5e98f46202640438#696a33843270964798b69cfe91b67ccc717d3f35 /etc/reader.conf.d/0comments was listed in debian/pcscd.install so it should have been removed on upgrade unless you modified it.

I am not sure what I can/will do something about this issue. What do you suggest? Bye
