SDDM doesn't seem to fully support PAM conversations. When attempting to use
the poldi pam module for OpenpPGP cards SDDM seems to deadlock when when poldi
sends/request more information during the login process. I have gotten pam and 
poldi to
successfully work with the gdm and slim desktop managers.

I'm sorry to hear that sddm doesn't work correctly with your pam setup. Thanks 
for reporting the issue so we are aware of it and making the issue more 
visible to the Debian users. Sadly the set of patches (13 commits and 53 files 
modified) is way beyond the scope of what we can maintain from the Debian 
side, as such this issue needs to be fixed and released upstream in order to 
address it in Debian. Please, consider updating and reviewing the patches 
upstream so the fix gets accepted.


Happy hacking,

Dear Maintainer,

SDDM doesn't seem to fully support PAM conversations. When attempting to use 
the poldi pam module for OpenpPGP cards SDDM seems to deadlock when when poldi 
sends/request more information during the login process. I have gotten pam and 
poldi to  
successfully work with the gdm and slim desktop managers.
