Cannot handle firmware requirement not-child

[Robert Hollencamp]

The fwupd version shipping with ubuntu 18.04 can not deal with Logitech Unifying Receiver; running 'fwupdmgr get-updates' fails with the error message 'cannot handle firmware requirement not-child'

This was fixed upstream in a newer release; maybe we can backport the change? https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/pull/1144/files

This is preventing updating the firmware for Logitech's unifying receiver which has a number of outstanding CVEs that have either been fixed, or are due to be fixed in August of this year.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

@superm1: #1820768 looks completely unrelated to me. Additionally, this still happens with 1.2.6-1 as currently in Debian Unstable.

This issue has been fixed upstream in https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/pull/1144 (Original upstream bug report at https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/issues/1139)

1.2.9 was uploaded into eoan last week. It should have the fix for this once an archive administrator approves it.

eoan has now 1.2.10
Please backport it to Ubuntu LTS 18.04.

SRU for 1.2.10 is being tracked here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/+bug/1820768
