Hi,
Upon startup, the biometric-auth service fails with segmentation violation
and a core dump:
systemd[1]: Starting Authenticate by human biometric...
biometric-authenticationd[1343]: [ NOTE] Database format version is 1.1.0
biometric-authenticationd[1343]: [ NOTE] The database format is compatible
with the current framework
systemd[1]: biometric-authentication.service: Main process exited,
code=dumped, status=11/SEGV

The segmentation fault is in Thread 1 (upekts.so)
The machine is a ThinkPad X1 Carbon 5th. It has a fingerprint sensor:
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 138a:0097 Validity Sensors, Inc.
I guess it is not supported, but still, a segmentation fault is a bit too harsh
:)
