This file is a conffile and is not managed like the other files of a
package.
A local modification is not overwritten unless explicitly accepted by
the admin. I guess you edited the file and refused to upgrade it during
the install of a newer version of pcscd.
I will close the bug.

Title:
/etc/init.d/pcscd works only at first start.
Status in pcsc-lite package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
"/etc/init.d/pcscd *" resp. "service pcscd *" works only at first "start".
In all other cases it just does nothing resp. starts one more pcscd.
Examples:
root@liberty:/etc# service pcscd start
root@liberty:/etc# ps -ef|grep pcscd
root 3850 1884 0 16:09 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pcscd
root@liberty:/etc# service pcscd start
root@liberty:/etc# ps -ef|grep pcscd
root 3850 1884 0 16:09 pts/10 00:00:01 /usr/sbin/pcscd
root 5230 1884 0 17:49 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pcscd
root@liberty:/etc# service pcscd stop
root@liberty:/etc# ps -ef|grep pcscd
root 3850 1884 0 16:09 pts/10 00:00:01 /usr/sbin/pcscd
root 5230 1884 0 17:49 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pcscd
root@liberty:/etc# /etc/init.d/pcscd stop
root@liberty:/etc# ps -ef|grep pcscd
root 3850 1884 0 16:09 pts/10 00:00:01 /usr/sbin/pcscd
root 5230 1884 0 17:49 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pcscd
root@liberty:/etc# service pcscd restart
* Restarting PCSC Lite resource manager pcscd
[ OK ]
root@liberty:/etc# ps -ef|grep pcscd
root 3850 1884 0 16:09 pts/10 00:00:01 /usr/sbin/pcscd
root 5230 1884 0 17:49 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pcscd
root 5295 1884 0 17:52 pts/10 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/pcscd
###
The problem is caused by these lines in /etc/init.d/pcscd:
# create $IPCDIR with correct access rights
rm -rf $IPCDIR
mkdir $IPCDIR
chgrp pcscd $IPCDIR
chmod g+w $IPCDIR
Since PIDFILE=$IPCDIR/$NAME.pid it will be deleted by the first of these
commands and
"start-stop-daemon" in /etc/init.d/pcscd using option "--pidfile $PIDFILE"
can not work anymore.
Commenting the lines above makes the script work as expected (or at
least as expected by _me_).
###
Another minor problem is the line "chgrp pcscd $IPCDIR" in the init script:
Group pcscd does not exist.
Creating the group myself does not change anything, neither positive nor
negative -
except for the fact that the group is then set on $IPCDIR:
wolf@liberty:/run$ ls -ld pcscd
drwxr-xr-x 2 root pcscd 80 Dez 22 17:52 pcscd
wolf@liberty:/run$ ls -l pcscd
total 4
srw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Dez 22 17:52 pcscd.comm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6 Dez 22 17:52 pcscd.pid
