Package: fwupd Version: 2.0.10-1 Severity: normal Hey Mario, When I run "fwupdtool --version" I'm getting the above warning message. I'm seeing this on a range of machines, running trixie (2.0.8-1), trixie with a locally backported update (2.0.10-1) and unstable (2.1.2-1). All of the machines have an ESP mounted at /boot/efi as normal for a default-installed Debian system. The suggested wiki page at https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/wiki/PluginFlag:esp-not-found doesn't really help. I've checked and on these machines udisks2 is installed on some of them and not on others. *All* of the machines report the error. How is this happening?
Can you please share 'fwupdtool esp-list -v' output from one of them running unstable?
P.S. I *hate* that you've apparently decided to now depend on udisks2 here - it's a totally unwanted piece of software for many people on servers (etc.), while fwupd is something we *really8 should be pushing people to install everywhere. This seems like a backward step from allowing people to specify the ESP location directly.
It wasn't taking lightly when we made this change upstream. There are safety checks done to ensure we don't cause an unbootable OS on multi disk or dual boot systems by doing a firmware update.
You can't do this without being able to mount and investigate all potential ESPs on all disks.
