[Bug 475821] Re: pcscd is supposed to run at startup, but sometimes it does, sometimes not, can't tell why. It started reliably in my last distro, crunchbang, based on ubuntu 9.04.

Sorry to be a pest, but it seems some problems continue, but slightly
different symptoms.  At startup syslog displays the same error:

Nov  8 07:04:46 works pcscd:
hotplug_libhal.c:490:HPRegisterForHotplugEvents() Could not initialise
connection to hald.
Nov  8 07:04:46 works pcscd:
hotplug_libhal.c:491:HPRegisterForHotplugEvents() Normally this means the
HAL daemon (hald) is not running or not ready.
Nov  8 07:04:46 works pcscd: pcscdaemon.c:524:main() SVCServiceRunLoop
returned

I checked /etc/init.d/pcscd to see if the patch reverted and it was fine.
Still, I patched the file manually (this newbie doesn't know how to do
otherwise) and the error might now be located between my fingers and the
keyboard.  Here's how /etc/init.d/pcscd looks after I applied the patch so
that you can check my work:

#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: pcscd
# Required-Start:    $local_fs $remote_fs $syslog hal
# Required-Stop:     $local_fs $remote_fs $syslog hal
# Default-Start:     2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop:      0 1 6
# Short-Description: Daemon to access a smart card using PC/SC
# Description:       The PC/SC daemon is used to dynamically
#                    allocate/deallocate reader drivers at runtime and
manage
#                    connections to the readers.

...and nothing below was changed.

pcscd is supposed to run at startup, but sometimes it does, sometimes not, can't tell why.  It started reliably in my last distro, crunchbang, based on ubuntu 9.04.
