So, I was playing around with EndeavorOS on my Thinkpad T480, and I ran into some hiccups with python-validity and open-fprintd packages. They were throwing similar error messages as mentioned in this thread: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-validity#comment-853537.

I also noticed that when I ran whereis python, it showed me both the system version and the version managed by RTX.

To fix the issue, I disabled RTX, removed all fprintd packages, reinstalled them, then followed the instructions at https://github.com/uunicorn/python-validity. And voila, it worked!

There's probably a more streamlined solution out there - but, it worked in this case.

If you're using a language manager, it might be causing some confusion during the installation process.

Currently will not build due to printfd-clients package build failure.

@VorpalGun I backported 032cde77, thanks for the hint

The bug with PyYAML below seems to have been fixed already, but no new package release has been made. I'm switching to using python-validity-git for now. A suitable patch could be backported quite easily though (commit 032cde77)

As of recent system updates this package no longer works. The service fails with the following on startup:
