Manjaro dependency conflicts

Hi, I am using Manjaro and I am getting package conflicts issues while installing.

The initialization process went through correctly with no issues so far, I got the LED blinking as planned.

Then as said in the tutorial, I first install fprintd from the official depot, which also installs libfprint as a dependency.

Then, when I try to get libfprint-vfs0090-git, I get dependency conflicts :

This means "To uninstall : fprintd, libfprint" and "To build : libfprint-vfs009x-git".

So when presing "Ok", I can't use the fprintd commands to enroll my fingerprints.

How should I proceed ?

I was able to make the fingerprint reader (ID 138a:0090 Validity Sensors, Inc. VFS7500 Touch Fingerprint Sensor) works on Manjaro (v21.3.0)

Tip was to :

  • remove libfprint and fprintd
  • install "fprintd 1.90.1-1" manually
  • install libfprint-vfs009x-git
  • 👍1
