Thanks! Jonathan Nieder wrote: > Noticed because wpasupplicant depends on these. Speaking of which, from a naïve point of view it is not clear why wpasupplicant would need this. Kel, would it be appropriate for wpasupplicant to avoid a strict dependency on libpcsclite, by using dlopen() maybe? (Note I am only asking if it would be appropriate; the actual work would fall on the shoulders of people with an interest in that happening.) Ludovic, would it be appropriate for libpcsclite to avoid a strict dependency on pcscd and get the latter installed where appropriate some other way (e.g., the desktop task)? I would like to see it made easier to remove pcscd on systems because worrying about such setuid binaries is an unnecessary administration hassle.
