Package: libpam-fprint Version: 20080330+git-5 Severity: important Hi there!
I guess the output below speaks for itself: ===== [20:48:09] l...@gismo:~$ ls -la | grep fprint drwx------ 3 luca luca 4096 Sep 16 12:37 .fprint.BCK [20:48:17] l...@gismo:~$ sudo mount Could not locate any suitable fingerprints matched with available hardware.

Moreover, I do not see the point in creating an empty folder just for the sake of it: libpam-fprint should cope with the folder not being present.
