Raffael,

The reason seems to be that pcsc-lite creates its pid file in
"/run/pcscd/", but herd expects it in "/var/run/pcscd/".

Thanks for the report! I'm closing this bug because I believe to've fixed it on master. Pull it and see.

/var/run has no place on modern GNU/Linux. We should strive to migrate all remaining users to /run, but there's no rush.

Kind regards,
