Hi,

Hello,

with today's upgrade, libpcsclite1 started depending on pcscd, whereas
it previously only suggested it. The dependency list is huge, especially
that it pulls in the whole HAL stack is very unfortunate.

As wpa_supplicant depends on libpcsclite1 and wpa_supplicant is a
dependency of network-manager, we basically have to install hal again on
a GNOME desktop when we worked very hard to get rid of it.

This is what I get when trying to install wpasupplicant:

# apt-get install wpasupplicant
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
   adduser dbus hal hal-info libccid libdbus-1-3 libdbus-glib-1-2 libexpat1
   libglib2.0-0 libhal-storage1 libhal1 libnl1 libpci3 libpcre3 libpcsclite1
   libudev0 libusb-1.0-0 pciutils pcscd udev usbutils
Suggested packages:
   dbus-x11 gnome-device-manager pcmciautils wpagui libengine-pkcs11-openssl
Recommended packages:
   eject pm-utils consolekit libglib2.0-data shared-mime-info
The following NEW packages will be installed:
   adduser dbus hal hal-info libccid libdbus-1-3 libdbus-glib-1-2 libexpat1
   libglib2.0-0 libhal-storage1 libhal1 libnl1 libpci3 libpcre3 libpcsclite1
   libudev0 libusb-1.0-0 pciutils pcscd udev usbutils wpasupplicant

The problem is with wpasupplicant, not with libpcsclite1.
libpcsclite1 is not usefull without pcscd (and its dependencies).

I also plan to use libudev instead of libhal in pcscd. But it is not yet ready.


The wpasupplicant maintainer(s) just decided to remove the smart card support (see Debian bug #612715). So this bug, reassigned to wpasupplicant, will be solved soon.

Thanks
