Fingerprint sensor on Thinkbook

Hi, has anyone got the fingerprint sensor of Thinkbook G3 working? I tried to use an AUR package which supposedly works better with Thinkbook but the system update failed with the below. :: Conflicts found: libfprint-tod-git: libfprint

Remove the already installed package Whichever one is installed Using the commands part of system.yaml

Thanks. Can I just add commands: sudo apt remove libfprint? The below led to akshara looping with "Conflicts found" commands: - sudo apt remove libfprint aur-packages: - libfprint-tod-git

1) arch uses pacman, and 2) you should edit the packages list, not run a command to remove it

True You’d fork the package list For testing you can remove the package pacman -R libfprint

still, that runs after it tries to install the packages, so you'd also have to move the AUR packages to command and do that manually which is much more complex

I don't see libfprint in the pkglist file. trying pakman -R in commands ... same problem. libfprint is included in the list automatically, even if I use ignorepkg in pacman.conf🙄

Yeah they just said And pacman.conf is overwritten during build It does nothing You need to make your own track without libfprint basically Or find some way to pass —assume-installed
