Bug Description

hi,

the pcscd daemon which is installed for working with smartcards doesn't start after the upgrade from the last version in hardy to the new version in hardy (last sync).
The reason is, that upstream changed the default ipcdir from /var/run to /var/run/pcscd/, but this directory doesn't exists during startup.

Please fix,

\sh

If the directory does not exist the pcscd daemon creates it automatically when started.

What is the error message if you start pcscd as "pcscd --debug --foreground" and /var/run/pcscd does not exist?

I can't reproduce any problem here on karmic without Stephan's init script change; I'm going to revert this change at the next sync/merge, rather than carrying it forward.
