[Bug 1573160] Re: package fwupdate 0.5-2ubuntu4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Mario Limonciello]

A few comments:
1) It's not acceptable for a postinst to hang waiting on a problem with the disk.  If there was a problem with the disk, the post install script did the right thing by stopping and showing you an error.
2) It's assumed on Ubuntu that the ESP is writable.  That's how GRUB gets installed to it on any GRUB updates as well.  If fwupdate didn't fail there, GRUB would too.

So i'm going to close this bug as Won't Fix.
