Public bug reported:
Upgrading UBUNTU server 22.04.5 jammy to 24.04.3 noble I started to see that
pcscd service drains memory, after few days it reached 3GB or RAM, a service
restart has freed all memory but the problem comes back after few days.
I see that this version uses polkit I don't know if it is somehow linked.
Package version pcscd/noble,now 2.0.3-1build1 amd64 installed as pcscd and not
as pcsc-lite.
