** Description changed:

  Performing a db update on fwupdmgr results in a BadRequest response from
  snapd in the "Prepare" stage.
  
  Using snapd version 2.74
  
  snapd logs the following error:
  
  (Prepare for external EFI DB update) failed: cannot perform initial reseal of 
keys for Secureboot Key Database update:
  cannot add EFI secure boot and boot manager policy profiles: cannot process 
host variable modifier 0 for initial branch 0: cannot compute signature 
database update 0:
  cannot decode EFI_VARIABLE_AUTHENTICATION_2 structure of update:
  cannot check WIN_CERTIFICATE_UEFI_GUID.Hdr:
  unexpected WIN_CERTIFICATE.Revision (0x0)
  
+ 
+ Notably snapd versions prior to 2.74 do not handle db updates, however I 
would arguably see this as a regression. 
+ 
+ ---
+ 
+ Steps to reproduce:
+ 
+ 1. Download the daily resolute image from
+ https://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/daily-live/pending/.
+ 
+ 2. Install the iso in a VM and enable TPM-backed encryption, using swtpm
+ and the OVMF vars provided by test-snapd-ovmf.
+ 
+ 3. Refresh firmware updates:
+ 
+ $ fwupdmgr refresh
+ 
+ 4. Update firmware:
+ 
+ $ fwupdmgr update
+ 
+ 5. On the update "UEFI CA from 2011 to 2023", choose "Y" and continue.
+ 
+ 6. (snapd gives BadRequest)
