Fellowship Smartcard && Gentoo

Hi!

I'm currently trying to set up my card reader (SPR532) under Gentoo Linux.

GnuPG, run as root, gives the following error:

 # gpg --card-status
winscard_clnt.c:3422:SCardCheckDaemonAvailability() PCSC Not Running
gpg: pcsc_establish_context failed: no service (0x8010001d)
gpg: card reader not available
gpg: OpenPGP Karte ist nicht vorhanden: Allgemeiner Fehler

("OpenPGP Karte ist nicht vorhanden: Allgemeiner Fehler" == "OpenPGP card is not present: General Error"

When I start the pcscd, I get the following output...:

# gpg --card-status
gpg: pcsc_connect failed: unknown reader (0x80100009)
gpg: card reader not available
gpg: OpenPGP Karte ist nicht vorhanden: Allgemeiner Fehler

...and the following lines in /var/log/messages:

Aug 30 22:09:09 hostname pcscd: pcscdaemon.c:500:main() pcsc-lite 1.4.2 daemon ready.
Aug 30 22:09:09 hostname pcscd: hotplug_libusb.c:110:HPReadBundleValues() Cannot open PC/SC drivers directory: /usr/lib/readers/usb
Aug 30 22:09:09 hostname pcscd: hotplug_libusb.c:111:HPReadBundleValues() Disabling USB support for pcscd.

By the way: Do I really need to start that pcscd deamon? There was nothing in the howtos...

Any help appreciated! Thx, georg

[Solved] Fellowship Smartcard && Gentoo

I totally forgot to check the gnupg version. I was using 1.9.? since this is currently the latest version not masked in gentoo. I upgraded to 2.0.6, and now it works.
