Hello!

I uploaded log files here - http://u.pc.cd/YtEctalK - as here seems to
be email size limit 40 KiB.

I installed also Ubuntu 20.10 Groovy package of libccid:
$ dpkg -l|grep -i ccid
ii  libccid                                    1.4.33-1
            amd64        PC/SC driver for USB CCID smart card readers

Created also one additional log with libccid 1.4.33 and pcscd 1.9.0 installed.

.... still not working the card reader:
$ opensc-tool --list-readers
No smart card readers found.

... which is pretty obvious:
$ journalctl -u pcscd
