Source: fwupd Version: 1.9.3-1 Severity: important Tags: patch fwupd ships an empty directory /lib/systemd/system-preset. This directory is prone to loss since we implemented the /usr-merge using aliasing. Another package may install a file into /usr/lib/systemd/system-preset and when that package is removed, this empty directory is deleted as well.
fwupd used to install a preset file there, but no longer does. This directory is not crucial to fwupd and can be deleted as well. Once deleted, it can no longer be lost. I'm attaching a patch for your convenience. Helmut
