Issues with Yubikey Related Packages

I have had problems when upgrading the following:

[2017-08-10 17:25] [ALPM] upgraded yubico-c (1.13-3 -> 1.13-4)
[2017-08-10 17:25] [ALPM] upgraded yubico-c-client (2.15-2 -> 2.15-3)
[2017-08-10 17:25] [ALPM] upgraded yubikey-personalization (1.18.0-1 -> 1.18.0-2)
[2017-08-10 17:25] [ALPM] upgraded yubikey-manager (0.4.0-2 -> 0.4.1-1)
[2017-08-10 17:25] [ALPM] upgraded yubikey-personalization-gui (3.1.24-3 -> 3.1.24-4)

The problem was that when I issued

gpg --card-status

I had an error returned stating

gpg: selecting openpgp failed: Card error
gpg: OpenPGP card not available: Card error

Then,

[2017-08-11 11:30] [ALPM] downgraded yubico-c (1.13-4 -> 1.13-3)
[2017-08-11 11:30] [ALPM] downgraded yubico-c-client (2.15-3 -> 2.15-2)
[2017-08-11 11:30] [ALPM] downgraded yubikey-personalization (1.18.0-2 -> 1.18.0-1)
[2017-08-11 11:30] [ALPM] downgraded yubikey-manager (0.4.1-1 -> 0.4.0-2)
[2017-08-11 11:30] [ALPM] downgraded yubikey-personalization-gui (3.1.24-4 -> 3.1.24-3)

solved my issue.

Is this related to something on the upsteam's side, or do I need to change some configuration myself to be able to use the newer versions?

Re: Issues with Yubikey Related Packages

I don't have a gpg capable yubikey or similar device but since it is gpg talking directly to the yubikey I would look first at the package that provides the udev rules that allow access to the yubikey without root privileges.

Re: Issues with Yubikey Related Packages

Thanks R00KIE, for the prompt response.

I had already been using the below udev rule

# this udev file should be used with udev 188 and newer
ACTION!="add|change", GOTO="u2f_end"

# Yubico YubiKey
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1050", TAG+="uaccess"

LABEL="u2f_end"

when I did the upgrade. Then, I simply downgraded the aforementioned packages. I should note also that I am not using any scdaemon.conf file under my .gnupg folder.
