Chimaera fresh installation: Issues with fingerprint authentication

I need help to configure my laptop to authenticate using the fingerprint device in Devuan 4.0 Chimaera.
The device ID is supported by libfprint and listed in https://fprint.freedesktop.org/supported-devices.html

I have installed packages fprintd, libfprint-2-2, libpam-fprintd from main repository.
I have tried to follow documentation and information found on the internet, but it does not work.

Command 

fprintd-enroll -f right-index-finger <USERNAME>

is stuck for ever on below messages, despite scanning my fingerprint several times.
It is only interrupted by Ctrl+C.

Using device /net/reactivated/Fprint/Device/0
Enrolling right-index-finger finger.
Enroll result: enroll-stage-passed
Enroll result: enroll-stage-passed
Enroll result: enroll-stage-passed

Package fprint-demo, used to test the fingerprint device, is no longer available in Devuan 4.0.

What is missing? How can I debug this?

Re: Chimaera fresh installation: Issues with fingerprint authentication

Does the "freeze" unstick if you wiggle the mouse (or touchpad) repeatedly? It could be waiting for entropy (pointlessly).

If that helps then see http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=32269#p32269 for a potential solution.

How can I debug this?

Check the logs.

The above suggested action did not have any effect on my case.

Check the logs.

EDIT: lsusb command shows:

Bus 005 Device 002: ID 08ff:2580 AuthenTec, Inc. AES2501 Fingerprint Sensor

Putting fprintd in debug mode

env G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all /usr/libexec/fprintd -t

and run until interrupted with Ctrl+C

fprintd-enroll -f right-index-finger <USERNAME>

I get the following debug information:

I found a bug report that looks similar to what I experience.
