SCardEstablishContext: Service was stopped. #74

Hi all,

I'm having troubles with the pcsc_scan function. I'm using Ubuntu 22.04 TLS and I need retrieve data from a smart card. Since a couple of days the pcsc_scan function returns only the "SCardEstablishContext: Service was stopped" error. I've altredy tried to uninstall and reinstall all the packeges, start the pcscd.service and the pcscd.socket; all the times I've received the error above.

Does anyone has any suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

I guess you have libpcsclite and pcscd from 2 different versions.
