The problem only occurs with Debian GNU Linux 9. The USB reader still
works well with Debian GNU Linux 8; i.e. this is a regression. It is not
the way that gnupg always fails to recognize my gpg card via the USB
reader; sometimes it works; sometimes it does not.
Thanks for the report. I'm hoping that gniibe (cc'ed) can shed more
light on this by asking you for clearer debugging info. He's our
strongest expert on this stuff.
It looks from your debugging output like you're intermixing scdaemon
with pcsclite or possibly pcscd. It's possible that two daemons are in
contention for the device. Can you tell whether that might be the case
on your system?
--dkg
Now I have removed pcscd with apt-get remove and see it works now on my
Debian 9 machine. Strangely on my Debian 8 machine pcscd is of version
1.8.13-1 while no scdaemon is installed. Nonetheless I remember gpg
--card-status always having worked on my Debian 8 machine.
