the bug report is quite old but if you are still interested to get it fixed: please attach some code that reproduces the problem. The attached program lists the connected PC/SC readers (and reports a communication error if no reader is connected).
Compile with "javac pcsc_lite_bug.java". Run as "java
pcsc_lite_bug".
To see the problem do
strace -e trace=stat64 -f java pcsc_lite_bug 2>&1 | egrep 'XXX|libpcsclite'
With libpcsclite-dev installed and my reader connected I get
[pid 4626] stat64("/usr/lib/libpcsclite.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644,
st_size=38696, ...}) = 0
XXX Found 2 PCSC terminals:
XXX 0: PC/SC terminal SDI010 USB Smart Card Reader [Vendor Interface]

XXX 1: PC/SC terminal SDI010 USB Smart Card Reader [Vendor Interface]
(21120706205078) 00 01
With libpcsclite-dev installed and without any reader connected I
get
[pid 4643] stat64("/usr/lib/libpcsclite.so", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644,
st_size=38696, ...}) = 0
XXX Communication error javax.smartcardio.CardException: list() failed
Without libpcsclite-dev I get
[pid 4673] stat64("/usr/lib/libpcsclite.so", 0xf6b4b720) = -1 ENOENT (No
such file or directory)
[pid 4673] stat64("/usr/local/lib/libpcsclite.so", 0xf6b4b720) = -1 ENOENT

XXX Cannot connect to PC/SC subsystem
Setting the property sun.security.smartcardio.library as
described on
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/security/SunProviders.html#SunPCSCProvider
has no positive effect.
