Installing ends with these warnings:

chown: warning: '.' should be ':': ‘root.plugdev’
chown: warning: '.' should be ':': ‘root.plugdev’

Running fingerprint-gui 1.09 fails after:

(process:30267): libfprint-async-WARNING **: 15:19:39.037: usb_open failed, error -3

The package already uses the only release available at https://github.com/RogueScholar/fingerprint-gui so the package is not out- of date. If you want to use the latest git version it should be named fingerprint-gui-git, i.e. it would be another package.

@Hate9: Here's a PKGBUILD using RogueScholar's fork.

could we please switch to the actually-updated https://github.com/RogueScholar/fingerprint-gui ?

@PhotonX I too am running Manjaro on the laptop with the fingerprint reader. I've added the pam_fingerprint-gui.so module only in /etc/pam.d/sudo. Perhaps you have the module in some other file under /etc/pam.d and this causes some trouble.

I'm running Manjaro on the machine in question (Arch on a different machine, where fingerprint-gui isn't in use), possibly it is something Manjaro specific... I also need to add that my fingerprint reader isn't being recognized so fingerprint-gui isn't fully configured, just installed. Not a big deal if the issue cannot be reproduced and fixed, since I cannot use it anyway. Just left the comment here in case somebody else stubles upon the same problem.

@PhotonX I'm unable to reproduce the bug, on my PC pamac can install packages without problems.

I had problems with Pamac, couldn't install any package due to an "authentication error". Looks like fingerprint-gui messed something up in polkit: https://pastebin.com/x3XGA9E0

Removing fingerprint-gui solved the Pamac problem.

Note that Arch does not have a system group named plugdev, so creating it from an AUR package is an ugly hack which may break the system if you decide to uninstall the package, in which case the group gets removed regardless if other things still use it or not.

Why is it not replaced by some other group as pointed out in the upstream manual?

I have adopted and updated the package. Now it relies on the libfprint-1 package which is libfprint version 1.0.
