Maybe try uninstalling fprintd and see if the dependencies work themselves out.

when trying to build the package i get this error: could not satisfy dependencies: - removing libfprint breaks dependency 'libfprint-2.so=2-64' required by fprintd

Hi Ardv, I expect it likely does. Give it a try and report back why not?

does this support: dell altitude 7480 fingerprint sensor: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0a5c:5834 Broadcom Corp.?

Alright updated to the 'new' upstream branch. Hopefully this works for you guys. Sorry about the wait on my changes, I've been busy, and honestly my fingerprint scanner is not all that reliable so I find myself not using it.

Hope this update works,

Aaron.

On a slightly related note, I asked chatGPT to write me the sed command which gets the version hahahaha. Works nicely by the looks of it.

Current upstream version is 5.12.018

https://git.launchpad.net/~oem-solutions-engineers/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom/+git/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom/commit/?h=upstream

Please update as this version 5.8.012 is outdated, broken and based on the wrong branch (master) instead of upstream.

Should I as the maintainer change the source from the master to the jammy branch? I'm failing to understand the problem.

+1 for that change. It makes my device work too (Latitude 5430). The new release was only added to the jammy branch.

Change

branche=master to #branche=jammy

Then your Broadcom fingerprint scanner works!

After installing I check the systemctl status fprintd.service and got the same error as Alex Tsi:

fprintd[1192]: Impossible to load module /usr/lib/libfprint-2/tod-1/libfprint-2-tod-1-broadcom.so: libcrypto.so.1.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Since I am a noob I did not understand what AlexTsi meant. Here is an approach to help following noobs like me: 1. git clone this repo as usual 2. use some editor of your choice and modify the PKGBUILD file as follows to use the newer jammy branch: 2.2 replace in line 22 source=("git+https://git.launchpad.net/~oem-solutions-engineers/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom/+git/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom/#branch=master") the default master branch with the jammy branch. 3. save and execute makepkg -si as usual 4. After that and installing the package libfprint-tod-git from AUR everything worked on my lattitude 5511
