Public bug reported:
It appears that fprintd-clients was replaced with libpam-fprintd, and
libpam-fprintd can't be installed without fprintd.
I can't use fprintd because it's incompatible with my fingerprint reader
(Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th gen). Prior to today I was successfully
using open-fprintd.
Now, however, I had to uninstall open-fprintd and install libpam-fprintd
to be able to log in (see bug 1917175), and I am unable to put open-
fprintd back because that will force fprintd to uninstall, which will
force libpam-fprintd to uninstall, which will make me unable to log in
because pam_fprintd.so will disappear.
This isn't great.
