SFC30 doesn't update to the latest version

[Asier]

Description: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release: 16.04

fwupd:
  Installed: 0.7.0-0ubuntu4.3

When listing devices I get:
%fwupdmgr get-devices

Checking the lvfs web page I see that there is newer versions available. https://fwupd.org/lvfs/device/8baed357-638e-5b54-b582-0476bf7d6348

However when I run the update, I get this output:
 % fwupdmgr --verbose update
Downloading 4.01 for SFC30 Joystick...
Updating 4.01 on SFC30 Joystick...
 * Decompressing firmware
Retrying as an offline update...
usb:00:01 is already scheduled to be updated

After this command if I list the devices, I get this output:

What can I do to update it to the latest version?

Thanks in advance

As far as I can tell, the improvements to 8bitdo came in a newer version of fwupd than exists in 16.04.
https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/commit/0abde9c39ab18cfa2dec0e651b741ea59acbf519#diff-504d274506bc17713c5afaf24682f7ae
and many others.

Backporting newer fwupd to Ubuntu 16.04 is not however a trivial effort due to other challenges. I would recommend that you try to run the update from a live USB stick for Ubuntu 17.10 which contains a newer fwupd.
