For the scdaemon log, do you need it:

  • with pcscd running or with GnuPG direct ccid implementation?
  • in “working” condition (for example doing a gpg --card-status or gpg --sign)?
  • during the “breakage” (doing a gpg --decrypt)
  • in “broken” condition (after doing a gpg --decrypt).

Sorry if my report wasn't so clear. The broken behavior only appears:

  • when using GnuPG ccid implementation (instead of pcscd);
  • when doing a decrypt operation (maybe also an encrypt, I didn't check yet, but I'd be surprised since the smartcard hardly do any job here)

After trying a decrypt operation, the USB reader is in a non working condition, and I can only restore working condition by doing a reboot (I'v
tried to cut power to the USB bus but that doesn't seem enough).
