How to uninstall "fprintd and fprintd-pam"

General
1

Is there a way to remove fprind and fprintd-pam from my computer. It shows up here

sudo dnf install fprintd                      

Updating and loading repositories:
Repositories loaded.
Package "fprintd-1.94.5-1.fc42.x86_64" is already installed.

But I cannot remove it using rpm-ostree

rpm-ostree uninstall fprintd fprintd-pam
error: Package/capability 'fprintd' is not currently requested

Also it doesn’t show on rpm-ostree status

rpm-ostree status                       
State: idle
AutomaticUpdates: stage; rpm-ostreed-automatic.timer: no runs since boot

It is a part of the base image.

You will have to make a custom image to remove it.

Is libfprint is also a part of the base image??

Yes. What are you trying to do?

rpm-ostree override remove libfprint --install libfprint-2-2-1.94.4+tod1-FT9366_20240627.x86_64.rpm

See the following for more information: How to achieve "dnf swap"-equivalent functionality with rpm-ostree - Fedora Magazine
