Hi there,

I've been trying to get a Gemalto USB Shell Token V2 + OpenPGP card v2
to work with gnupg 2.0.16, but with no success.

The command "gpg --card-status" appears to work, but "gpg --card-edit"
fails as follows:

    $ gpg --card-edit

    scdaemon[25465]: reading public key failed: Missing item in object
    scdaemon[25465]: reading public key failed: Missing item in object

    scdaemon[25465]: sending signal 12 to client 25465


    gpg: OpenPGP card not available: Broken pipe

    gpg/card>


Any attempt to run edit commands results in the same "Broken pipe"
message. This seems to be the same problem reported in

    http://old.nabble.com/Problem-with-Smart-Card-scdaemon-td29148413.html

But in my case the problem persists, even after reboot. There has been
a post a while back, which claimed this reader was supported by gnupg
with PC/SC:

Does anybody know what might be the problem?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Tiago
