Per double check, the bug that prevent fwupd to refresh should be lp:1969976
Per check, the failure log in syslog shall be something like:
Sep 29 20:02:04 XXXX systemd[1]: Starting Refresh fwupd metadata and update motd... service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Sep 29 20:02:04 XXXX systemd[1]: fwupd-refresh.
Sep 29 20:02:04 XXXX systemd[1]: fwupd-refresh.
Sep 29 20:02:04 XXXX systemd[1]: Failed to start Refresh fwupd metadata and update motd.
Given it can't properly refresh the meta-data, then there won't be a notification, just in case that there are some other issue block notification
AI: install the updated fwupd from ppa and test again.
