Bug Description
* Impact
Bios vendor is pushing to put the new design into cab file, and also new docking WD19 needs the new fwupd to support it.
That needs new fwupd to support.
* Background:
1. most user does firmware update via gnome-software and it talk to fwupd.
2. only very very limited user will call /usr/bin/fwupdate from the command line.
3. the new fwupd will need a new fwupd-signed. So we will remove fwupdate-signed.
* Current test result before we have something in proposed channel:
1. new fwupd works well with gnome-software, so we should be safe to go.
2. for those very limited user, they can call /usr/lib/
* Test case
A.
1. install the new fwupd, and plugin the new docking - DW19.
2. fwupdmgr get-devices and check if all internal device can properly show
B.
1. If you can get new cab file, try to use fwupdmgr install XX.cab to see if can work properly.
C.
1. If you can get a machine that have some firmware update pending, try to go gnome-software, and click refresh with the new fwupd, you should be able to see the pending firmware showed there. Which proves that it can properly be integrated with gnome. (ycheng-twn have a laptop with that condition, and he can verify that one
D.
1. Install an 18.04 Ubuntu Desktop system.
2. Enable bionic-proposed.
3. Run update-manager.
4. Ensure that the fwupd and fwupd-signed packages are installed without error.
5. Ensure that no files or directories from the old fwupdate package are left behind in /boot/efi/
* Regression potential
Since the upstream maintainer is back up this upgrade, and he also works in a major computer vendor and works closely with the BIOS team, it should be fairly low risk.
