Bug#119605: pcscd: does not kill daemon on purge (fwd)
Hi,
This bug is about the pcscd daemon left running afer purging the pcscd
package.
I'm not able to reproduce this error on an Intel machine. Maybe it's an
Sparc specific bug. I don't have such a machine at hand and thats why I'm
asking for help on this list.
The pcscd.prerm does stop the proccess in the usual way (in fact it's
dh_installinit the one that adds this part of the script in the same way
than for other debian packages): /etc/init.d/pcscd stop
/etc/init.d/pcscd just calls start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo
--pidfile /var/run/pcscd.pid
The file pcscd.pid is created from within pcscd and contains the pid of
the daemon.
If anybody can check it dpkg --purge pcscd leaves pcscd processes running,
on an sparc machine, please let me know.
Thanks,
Carlos.

pcscd got installed on the sparc buildd to satisfy a dependency for a
package build. When it was later removed (via apt-get --purge), it left
the daemon running.
