Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be the explanation. After starting
`gpg --card-edit`, I checked which version is running, and it’s 2.1.9:

    $ ps aux | grep scdaemon
    root       506  […] scdaemon --multi-server
    felix      562  […] grep scdaemon
    $ sudo ls -l /proc/506/exe
    […] /proc/506/exe -> /usr/lib/gnupg/scdaemon
    $ /usr/lib/gnupg/scdaemon --version
    scdaemon (GnuPG) 2.1.9
    libgcrypt 1.6.4
    libksba 1.3.3
