Bug#500762: Bug #500762 libpcsclite1: javax.smartcardio searches for libpcsclite.so

[Hendrik Tews]

   the bug report is quite old but if you are still interested to get it
   fixed: please attach some code that reproduces the problem.
   
The attached program lists the connected PC/SC readers (and
reports a communication error if no reader is connected). 

Compile with "javac pcsc_lite_bug.java". Run as "java
pcsc_lite_bug".

To see the problem do 

   strace -e trace=stat64 -f java pcsc_lite_bug 2>&1 | egrep 'XXX|libpcsclite'

With libpcsclite-dev installed and my reader connected I get

    [pid  4626] stat64("/usr/lib/libpcsclite.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=38696, ...}) = 0
    XXX Found 2 PCSC terminals:
    XXX   0: PC/SC terminal SDI010 USB Smart Card Reader [Vendor Interface] (21120706205078) 00 00
    XXX   1: PC/SC terminal SDI010 USB Smart Card Reader [Vendor Interface] (21120706205078) 00 01


With libpcsclite-dev installed and without any reader connected I
get

    [pid  4643] stat64("/usr/lib/libpcsclite.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=38696, ...}) = 0
    XXX Communication error javax.smartcardio.CardException: list() failed


Without libpcsclite-dev I get 

    [pid  4673] stat64("/usr/lib/libpcsclite.so", 0xf6b4b720) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    [pid  4673] stat64("/usr/local/lib/libpcsclite.so", 0xf6b4b720) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    XXX Cannot connect to PC/SC subsystem



Setting the property sun.security.smartcardio.library as
described on
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/SunProviders.html#SunPCSCProvider
has no positive effect.
