Hi all,
I have a strange behaviour here using Debian testing on a PPC, gnupg 1.4.1 +
ccid patch, without pcscd.

- OpenPGP Card (01000001 000000F9)

    (I was first asked for the pin then later the admin pin in the
    generation process)
    
    - Generation process always ends with:
        gpg: ccid_transceive failed: (0x1000a)
        gpg: apdu_send_simple(0) failed: card I/O error
        gpg: failed to store the key: general error
        gpg: storing key onto card failed: general error
        Key generation failed: general error

    - But I am able to sign/encrypt files, mails etc. with a key someone
      created for me on his i386 machine.

- Fellowship card 

    - (I was first asked for the admin pin, then for the pin in the
    generation process)

    - Generation process always with sucess.

    - But I am not able to de/encrypt files, it always ends in:
        
        PIN
        gpg: ccid_transceive failed: (0x1000a)
        gpg: apdu_send_simple(0) failed: card I/O error
        gpg: encrypted with 1024-bit RSA key, ID A4385295, created
        2005-05-16
              "Matthias Kirschner (test card user) <email at spam.org>"
              gpg: public key decryption failed: general error
              gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available


Does anybody have an idea what the problem might be?

With best wishes,
Matze
