Thanks for the information... perhaps the socket should depend on pcscd and so
be restarted along with it?
Good idea.
I will have a look.
Why do you want to restart pcscd?
When switching between package versions.
Do I read you correctly that the default Debian package doesn't
restart pcscd upon installing a new version?
Exact.
My idea was to NOT break already running applications. But it looks like it is
more problematic.
pcscd should also be restarted after a driver is installed so pcscd rescan the
driver directory.
That would explain why I needed the last month to debug a problem...
my pcscd was updated on 2021-08-31, but seems to have been running
the old binary until I rebooted -
at which point my VPN didn't work anymore, and the recently (2 weeks)
installed packages didn't offer any clue about the offending package...
Sorry.
Please set the socket as a dependency, so that a simple "restart" works
as expected (by me, at least ;)
I will look at this.
Thanks for the feedback.
Bye
