    Hi,

    I can no more use my Yubikey with GPG aftre recent changes. I
    followed
    https://wiki.debian.org/Smartcards/OpenPGP instructions but nothing succeeded.
    I'm running a Debian testing.

    Did someone find a solution ?

    Yes I did: sudo apt purge pcscd

    Turns out you do not need pcscd to use the Yubikey's PGP applet.
    On the contrary: I now have way less hassle/issues and it works like a
    charm all the time.

    Colleagues had to delete their ~/.gnupg/scdaemon.conf though for this
    to work (I did not have that file on my systems).

    Best wishes

    Generally it's sufficient to temporarily stop pcscd. But also
    disable-ccid and pcsc-shared in scdaemon.conf should help.

    (Not that I'm claiming that this is good UX.)

    Kind regards
