I recently had to switch my company card and it now uses a newer version
so it get mis-identified by pcsc-lite from debian - but works fine in
the latest release of pcsc-lite. As companies like Atos seem to
frequently roll out new versions of their cards it would be nice if we
could have opensc (I assume this is also in use - not sure whether it is
client or server side) and pcsc-lite in a separate snap built from a
more recent source

Title:
  [snap] smart card reader no longer works

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  chromium uses the Netscape Cryptographic Module to access smartcards
  for authentication purposes. This stopped working when switching to
  the snap version. Chromium would normally access the setup in
  ~/.pki/nssdb/pkcs11.txt That file  would refer to a library used to
  access the smart card. I.e /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/opensc-
  pkcs11.so

  The problem can be bypassed by manually launching chromium via:
  /snap/chromium/current/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chrome
