That's a side effect of the fwupd/fwupd-efi split. It truly is optional in the version that YC is doing the SRU. The daemon will check for the EFI binary existing at the time of installing a firmware update (either signed or unsigned depending upon circumstances) and will issue an error message to the calling client if it's missing.
This means that an end user with a machine that will never take EFI updates can remove the package if they want. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1949412 Title: Upgrade fwupd for Atomic Docking Support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/1949412/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
