  pkcs11-tool in Jammy (opensc=0.22.0-1ubuntu2) fails with `-t` while
  testing digests:
  
  ```
  $ sudo pkcs11-tool -l -t
  Using slot 0 with a present token (0x0)
  Logging in to "Users".
  Please enter User PIN:
  C_SeedRandom() and C_GenerateRandom():
    seeding (C_SeedRandom) not supported
    seems to be OK
  Digests:
    all 4 digest functions seem to work
    MD5: OK
    SHA-1: OK
  error: PKCS11 function C_DigestInit failed: rv = CKR_GENERAL_ERROR (0x5)
  Aborting.
  ```
  
  This works in Focal and Noble. The test command provides users with a
  more firm indication that their smartcard is compatible/functional with
  OpenSC; it is often used while troubleshooting other issues with
  smartcards.
  
  This particular error occurs because the RIPEMD160 hash function is not
  included in OpenSSL's default provider in Jammy [1][2].
  
  OpenSC 0.22 does not contain patches that update deprecated usage of
  OpenSSL 3; they were merged for 0.23 [3][4]. This bug was fixed in that
  PR (discussed in [5]).
  
  It looks to me like this bug showed up in #1972753, although that issue
  was resolved with a change of OpenSSH configuration. I'm opening this
  bug report to deal specifically with pkcs11-tool.
  
  A backport of [6] is sufficient to resolve the C_DigestInit failure.

  [ Test Plan ]
  
  Create CA & certificates for a virtual smart card as found at [1]. When 
creating the CA certificate, include `-2` and answer yes for CA:
  [1] 
https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/devices/ccid.html#using-ccid-card-emulated-with-certificates-stored-in-files
  
  ```
  sudo apt install libnss3-tools
  
  mkdir fake-smartcard
  cd fake-smartcard
  certutil -N -d sql:$PWD
  certutil -S -d sql:$PWD -s "CN=Fake Smart Card CA" -x -2 -t TC,TC,TC -n 
fake-smartcard-ca
  certutil -S -d sql:$PWD -t ,, -s "CN=John Doe" -n id-cert -c fake-smartcard-ca
  certutil -S -d sql:$PWD -t ,, -s "CN=John Doe (signing)" --nsCertType smime 
-n signing-cert -c fake-smartcard-ca
  certutil -S -d sql:$PWD -t ,, -s "CN=John Doe (encryption)" --nsCertType 
sslClient -n encryption-cert -c fake-smartcard-ca
  ```
  
  Export the CA cert as PEM so that it can be added to the VM later:
  ```
  certutil -L -r -d sql:$PWD -o fake-smartcard-ca.cer -n fake-smartcard-ca
  openssl x509 -in fake-smartcard-ca.cer -out fake-smartcard-ca.crt -outform pem
  ```
  
  Follow the instructions at [2] to create a cloud-init config drive 
`seed.img`. Add `fake-smartcard-ca.crt` to `seed.img` and use the following 
user-data:
  [2] https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howto/launch_qemu.html
  
  ```
  touch network-config
  touch meta-data
  cat >user-data <<EOF
  #cloud-config

-   expire: false
  users:
-   - default
-   - name: ubuntu
-     password: password
-     type: text
-     sudo: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
-     groups: sudo
-     shell: /bin/bash
+   - default
+   - name: user1
+     plain_text_passwd: password
+     shell: /bin/bash
+     lock_passwd: false
+     ssh_pwauth: True
+     chpasswd: { expire: False }
+     sudo: ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL
+     groups: users, admin
  EOF
  genisoimage \
      -output seed.img \
      -volid cidata -rational-rock -joliet \
      user-data meta-data network-config fake-smartcard-ca.crt
  ```
  
  Launch a qemu VM with emulated smart card:
  ```
  wget 
https://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/jammy/current/jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64.img
  qemu-system-x86_64 \
  -enable-kvm \
  -m 1024 \
  -nic user,model=virtio \
  -drive file=jammy-server-cloudimg-amd64.img,media=disk,index=0,if=virtio \
  -drive file=seed.img,index=1,media=cdrom \
  -usb -device usb-ccid -device 
ccid-card-emulated,backend=certificates,db=sql:$PWD,cert1=id-cert,cert2=signing-cert,cert3=encryption-cert
 \
  -device virtio-rng-pci \
  -nographic
  ```
  
  Log in, install opensc, copy the certificate and trust it:
  ```
  sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
  sudo cp /mnt/fake-smartcard-ca.crt /usr/local/share/ca-certificates/
  sudo update-ca-certificates
  ```
  
  Test the card with:
  ```
  sudo pkcs11-tool --test --login
  ```
  
  Authenticating with the card (with `-l`) is not needed to reproduce the
  failure; testing should be done with `-l` as the last hunk of this patch
  is only executed when using `-l`.
  
  I've seen intermittent failures doing this in the qemu environment; this
  is likely an issue with `ccid-card-emulated` (pcscd logs report
  intermittent `commands.c:1571:CCID_Receive Command not supported or not
  allowed`). I will perform verification with both the virtual environment
  described here and a VM with a physically passed-through Yubikey.
  
  Test packages are available in the following ppa:

  If you install the test packages, the output you should see is:

  [ Where problems could occur ]
  
   * These changes only affect the pkcs11-tool binary, specifically only the 
code
     that is invoked with `-t` (see p11_test() defined on pkcs11-tool.c#6394).
     Since `-t` is already broken, it's assumed that additional breakage to this
     option would be low impact.
  
   * As noted in the upstream issues, OpenSC 0.22 was not audited for
     compatibility with OpenSSL 3.0, so there are possibly some remaining issues
     (some fixed in [1]) that this SRU does not address.
