Title:
  fails to load modules for pkcs11 backends

Status in openCryptoki:
  New
Status in “opencryptoki” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  After installing opencryptoki, one should be able to query the
  available backend modules with the command "pkcsconf -i". On the
  current version in precise (2.3.1+dfsg-3), this is failing with the
  following error:

  C_GetSlotCount returned 0 slots. Check that your tokens are installed
  correctly.

  The expected output is:

  PKCS#11 Info
  	Version 2.11 
  	Manufacturer: IBM                              
  	Flags: 0x0  
  	Library Description: Meta PKCS11 LIBRARY              
  	Library Version 2.3 

  I'm not sure what the root cause is, but strace on the pkcsconf
  program shows it is looking in the default search path for the backend
  libraries (for e.g. the TPM and the soft-token backend). They are
  installed in /usr/lib/opencryptoki/stdll which is not in the default
  shlib search path and was never in the past when this worked. I
  suspect something changed in the package that introduced this bug.

  Testing / workaround instructions:
  1. stop opencryptoki
  2. run pkcs11_startup to generate /var/lib/opencryptoki/pk_config_data
  3. edit /var/lib/opencryptoki/pk_config_data specifying the fully qualified path to the backend libraries.
  4. start opencryptoki
  5. run pkcsconf -i
