Bug Description

There has occasionally been this error coming up when working with fwupdate and friends:

"dup: Bad file descriptor"

This doesn't happen reliably, it seems that calling a second or third time or rebooting first will tend to fix it.

Upstream has indicated this userspace commit should resolve the problem:
