Hello,
Since 2 updates ago my fingerprint reader is no longer working. After the second to last stable update when it broke I figured and wait till the next stable update. The update came last week but the fingerprint is still not working. Today I decided to look into it.
The problem is that the fprintd service will not start, looking at the service status it shows this problem:
sudo systemctl start fprintd
fprintd.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=11/SEGV
Looking at coredumpctl I see this line:
Wed 2022-03-02 20:41:02 CET 76177 0 0 SIGSEGV inaccessible /usr/lib/fprintd
This is the file in question:

I was running version 1.90.6 because a newer version had other issues but the version doesn’t seem to matter as both give the same error.
This is the journalctl -x --since "20 min ago" | grep fprint output

So my primary question I guess is why is fprintd being reported as inaccessible and how to resolve that?
Thank you for any help.
