Package: Firefox-esr
Version: 68.8esr-1-deb9u1

This is not necessarily only about the package as indicated above, it
concerns all browsers (Firefox 76.0.1), Firefox-ESR, Chromium can't access
USB key,

OS: Devuan ASCII on a Lenovo T460 (Debian 4.9.189-3+deb9u2)

Hello everybody:

I am using Yubico USB keys for 2FA, no problems on Debian. The keys are
reported correctly (and identical) on Debian and Devuan:

May 31 13:28:24 ElaTop kernel: [41890.395484] usb 1-6: new full-speed USB

May 31 13:28:24 ElaTop mtp-probe: bus: 1, device: 16 was not an MTP device

However, no browser seems to be able to access the keys. I have had no
problems with Debian (Debian 4.9.168-1+deb9u5) .

Thanks for Devuan.

Hi,
on the Yubiko website I read:

Linux: Requires current CCID and USB libraries (updated within the last 2 years).

so please check if they are installed.

To me these 2 packages look promising:

libacsccid1 - PC/SC driver for ACS USB CCID smart card readers
libccid - PC/SC driver for USB CCID smart card readers

Otherwise compare the packages installed on debian with the ones installed on devuan
with something like  (untested):

dpkg --get-selections > list1.txt

dpkg --get-selections > list2.txt

diff -uNp list1.txt list2.txt

Hope this helps,
tito

Hello:

I just installed Devuan Beowulf and the reported problem did not reappear.
I will be filing new bugs though :)

Thanks,
Michaela
