Hi,

I need open-fprintd, fprintd-clients and python3-validity to get the fingerprint reader on my Thinkpad T480 working.
Is it possible to get these packages, please?

Please see the following links for more information:
https://github.com/uunicorn/python-validity
https://github.com/uunicorn/open-fprintd

Nevermind. I just figured out how to build this from source.

Please tell if the way I have done this is bad for the OS. I've done the following (quick and dirty):
sh -c 'echo "deb-src https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/uunico ... ntd/ubuntu jammy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list'
apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 8D4C774BA6D18F90
apt-get update
apt install equivs build-essential devscripts python3-setuptools -y
mk-build-deps open-fprintd fprintd-clients python3-validity
dpkg -i *.deb
apt --fix-broken install -y
dpkg -i *.deb
apt source -t jammy --build open-fprintd fprintd-clients python3-validity
dpkg -i *.deb
apt --fix-broken install -y
dpkg -i *.deb

I have only tested this on a live image in a VM. I'm able to run fprintd-enroll. I haven't tested fprintd-enroll directly on my T480 yet. I'm still planning the migration from Ubuntu to MX Linux.
