Verify the system works properly after the update. == fwupd == The soname version of libfwup has been increased to 1 in fwupdate 9. Since the current fwupd depends on libfwup0 so fwupd has to be rebuilt against the new libfwup1. To test, perform firmware update with fwupdmgr and see if it works. == efivar == We avoided the upgrade of efivar so we don't need to validate its reverse-dependencies.

This is actually a BIOS problem in those situations. It's unlikely that this should happen though because querying for reset types more closely aligns to the implementations that other OSes use when applying capsule updates.
