OpenPGP card issues

I tried this:

david at david-desktop-debian:~$ unset GPG_AGENT_INFO
david at david-desktop-debian:~$ gpg-agent --use-standard --daemon sh
gpg-agent[7657]: a gpg-agent is already running - not starting a new one
david at david-desktop-debian:~$ pkill gpg-agent
david at david-desktop-debian:~$ gpg-agent --use-standard --daemon sh
$ gpg2 --card-status
gpg: selecting openpgp failed: Card error
gpg: OpenPGP card not available: Card error
$
