pcsc-lite package

Symbolic link fixes Smartcard reader problems with Java: add a symbolic link in future releases that solves a few issues.

Asked by Stig Endresen

Due to Java and a earlier change in the package. SmartCard like BEID (Electronic ID) has not been working. BUYPASS.com even publish that their cards doesn't work in newer Ubuntu releases due to a bug in a different package (That they have received mail about).

Java (Any Java) doesn't look for libpcsclite.so any other places than /usr/lib

A small fix for this should be added (symlink) since changing Oracle or any OSS Java behavior will probably never happen.

Installed at /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so.1.0.0 (64bit)

The fix: ln -s /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcsclite.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib

At current stage of 12.10 it is still needed for smartcard <-> Java
