The card in questions is Yubikey 4 with OpenPGP applet loaded, but I also tried regular OpenPGP v2 card with the same result. I also have pcscd running as I use Estonian eID card a couple of other smart cards too. systemctl status pcscd.service has the following in log: Nov 14 22:12:36 loki systemd[1]: Started PC/SC Smart Card Daemon.

Tried a couple of restarts of pcscd, gpg-agent and scdaemon with no success. Also tried "disable-ccid" for scdaemon.conf with not much luck either. At this point I am stuck with debugging in further. If anything comes to the mind will update the bug.
