Bug Description
When running `fwupdmgr refresh` from the command line or when performing an update from the Software application the following error will be thrown:
Failed to update metadata for lvfs: checksum failure: failed to verify data, expected 98261db7124c802
The cause is an outdated libjcat, as explained in the upstream bug report: https:/
0.1.3 is included in Ubuntu but at least 0.1.4 of libjcat is required to function properly.
Firmware can not be updated any longer as a result unless forcing the update manually by performing `fwupdmgr refresh --force`.
This means the libjcat dependency of this package needs to be set to 0.1.4 minimum and the libjcat package itself needs to be updated.
