Wow ....

I figured out that /etc/init.d/pcscd is simply not getting installed by
the package although it is contained in pcscd_1.8.10-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb.

This is why I still had an old version of it on my machine.

Since I am no package expert I just can guess that this happens because
it is not in the DEBIAN/md5sums file of the package.

So as a workaround one has to copy it manually.

Is there anything I can/should do concerning this bug?

Thanks for the fast response!

Title:
  /etc/init.d/pcscd works only at first start.

Status in pcsc-lite package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  "/etc/init.d/pcscd *" resp. "service pcscd *" works only at first "start".
  In all other cases it just does nothing resp. starts one more pcscd.

  Examples:

  root@liberty:/etc# service pcscd start
  root@liberty:/etc# ps -ef|grep pcscd
  root      3850  1884  0 16:09 pts/10   00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pcscd

  root@liberty:/etc# service pcscd start
  root@liberty:/etc# ps -ef|grep pcscd
  root      3850  1884  0 16:09 pts/10   00:00:01 /usr/sbin/pcscd
  root      5230  1884  0 17:49 pts/10   00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pcscd

  root@liberty:/etc# service pcscd stop
  root@liberty:/etc# ps -ef|grep pcscd
  root      3850  1884  0 16:09 pts/10   00:00:01 /usr/sbin/pcscd
  root      5230  1884  0 17:49 pts/10   00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pcscd

  root@liberty:/etc# /etc/init.d/pcscd stop
  root@liberty:/etc# ps -ef|grep pcscd
  root      3850  1884  0 16:09 pts/10   00:00:01 /usr/sbin/pcscd
  root      5230  1884  0 17:49 pts/10   00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pcscd

  root@liberty:/etc# service pcscd restart
   * Restarting PCSC Lite resource manager pcscd                                                                                              [ OK ] 
  root@liberty:/etc# ps -ef|grep pcscd
  root      3850  1884  0 16:09 pts/10   00:00:01 /usr/sbin/pcscd
  root      5230  1884  0 17:49 pts/10   00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pcscd
  root      5295  1884  0 17:52 pts/10   00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pcscd

  ###

  The problem is caused by these lines in /etc/init.d/pcscd:

  # create $IPCDIR with correct access rights
  rm -rf $IPCDIR
  mkdir $IPCDIR
  chgrp pcscd $IPCDIR
  chmod g+w $IPCDIR

  Since PIDFILE=$IPCDIR/$NAME.pid it will be deleted by the first of these commands and
  "start-stop-daemon" in /etc/init.d/pcscd using option "--pidfile $PIDFILE" can not work anymore.

  Commenting the lines above makes the script work as expected (or at
  least as expected by _me_).

  ###

  Another minor problem is the line "chgrp pcscd $IPCDIR" in the init script: Group pcscd does not exist.
  Creating the group myself does not change anything, neither positive nor negative -
  except for the fact that the group is then set on $IPCDIR:

  wolf@liberty:/run$ ls -ld pcscd
  drwxr-xr-x 2 root pcscd 80 Dez 22 17:52 pcscd

  wolf@liberty:/run$ ls -l pcscd
  total 4
  srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Dez 22 17:52 pcscd.comm
  -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Dez 22 17:52 pcscd.pid
