Hi,

after configuring pcsc-lite like this:

./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
--disable-libhal

I get a problem to start pcscd , and looking at
/usr/sbin/update-reader.conf, I find two unsubstituted @confdir@ variables.

substituting with @sysconfdir@ in $tarball/etc/update-reader.conf.in and
reconfiguring solved the problem. Install is ok, readers are detected.

I get lots of ccid_usb.c:633: ReadUSB() usb_bulk_read(%03d/%03d): No error
in /var/log/messages

Trying a stress test with our SAM farm now: seems to work as before.

So that will be a work for me once the small fix is applied.

Regards
Sebastien
