glad to hear that it's working reliably now!  I'm closing this bug
report since it sounds like it's resolved, but feel free to re-open it
if you think it needs more resolution!

debian 8 shipped the "classic" GnuPG 1.4 branch, which did not have a
separate scdaemon.  debian 9 ships the "modern" GnuPG 2.1.x/2.2.x
branch, which does use scdaemon.
