I found the issue, I had this installed from the Dell repo for 20.04 LTS:
libfprint-2-tod1-goodix
more specifically:
libfprint-2-tod1-goodix_0.0.6-0ubuntu1_somerville1_amd64.deb
This worked great with 20.04 and the fprintd version in there, but apparently
it breaks the current version.
Seems I have to wait untill Dell/goodix releases a new version.
I will close this one since the issue is not with fprintd itself.
