I've uploaded a 1.9.16 fwupd and 0.3.18 libxmlb (build-dependency for
fwpud 1.9.16) to the archive for an SRU team member to review. It
should fall under
https://launchpad.net/~superm1/+archive/ubuntu/uefi/+packages
I've got build logs and a diff of the uploads posted at this PPA as well:
I think focal should also be included as it has one year left for
maintenance updates and also has the same problem.

Title:
fwupd metadata bug
@afunix — Thank you for that information about snap and flatpak, which I
had missed. I'll update the bug report accordingly.
** Description changed:
The Ubuntu 22.04 repositories have fwupd version 1.7.9. This is a badly

firmware (currently it says "Not compatible with org.freedesktop.fwupd
version 1.7.9, requires >= 1.9.1"). Which is likely to end up with an
@superm1 — Thank you. I missed those when I was searching for the
problem.
Bug #2028548 would solve this bug; it's not quite a duplicate, but it
has the same solution.
It would also solve bug #1979963 — again, not a duplicate, but the same
solution.
