[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#839614: gnupg2: what happened to scdaemon?

[Kevin Gallagher]

Package: gnupg2
Version: 2.1.15-3
Severity: important
Tags: newcomer

Dear Maintainer,

I updated packages at some point and now my smartcards don't work,
because scdaemon has disappeared.

$ gpg --card-status
gpg: error getting version from 'scdaemon': No SmartCard daemon
gpg: OpenPGP card not available: No SmartCard daemon

$ ls /usr/lib/gnupg2/
gpg-preset-passphrase  gpg-protect-tool

$ apt-show-versions | grep scdaemon
scdaemon:amd64/stretch 2.1.15-3 uptodate

$ cat ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf
pinentry-program /usr/local/bin/pinentry-qt
keep-display
display :0.0
enable-ssh-support
default-cache-ttl 14400
max-cache-ttl 14400
scdaemon-program /usr/lib/gnupg2/scdaemon
sh
debug-level none
homedir /home/kevin/.gnupg

After restarting gpg-agent:

$ gpg --card-status
gpg-agent[1667]: can't connect to the SCdaemon: IPC connect call failed
gpg: error getting version from 'scdaemon': No SmartCard daemon
gpg: OpenPGP card not available: No SmartCard daemon

$ zcat /usr/share/doc/gnupg2/changelog.Debian.gz | grep scdaemon
   - minor cleanup to scdaemon dealing with removed cards
  * remove scdaemon.service; it will be managed by gpg-agent.service
