Bug Description
Probably all x86-based platforms only, but testsuites such as version and help (so very very basic ones) started failing with:
version FAIL stderr: /sys/firmware/

Something seems to have changed in the lower-level parts of the system (kernel?) in cosmic that's causing pyparted to spout out this error whenever it's imported. I have filled in a bug for tracking this:
https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ pyparted/ +bug/1776465
For now, since it doesn't seem to have any real effect on pyparted (since otherwise our partition unit tests would be failing, since those are run as non-root), I will be temporarily working around it in ubuntu-image.
