On Ubuntu 12.04, the gpgsm package contains the scdaemon, the smart card daemon.
So that's understandable that it needs to be installed.

On 13.04, they moved it to the separate scdaemon package.

GnuPG v1 can work without gpg-agent and scdaemon, but GnuPG v2 cannot. So the
problem is somewhere there.

HTH,
