Bug description:
The fix for this particular issue is tracked in SRU bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd/+bug/1791999
Regression potential:
Fixes for this particular bug would have the risk to manifest in devices not showing up in gnome-software, but this risk is very low.
Test case:
1) Run a UEFI firmware update from Gnome software.
2) Make sure that the update disappears from the listing after pressing the update button.
Original bug:
Ubuntu 17.10
On a dell latitude 5580, the firmware update seems to not work while
it actually does.
1. Gnome software reports there is a new firmware update.
2. I click "update now"
3. The update disappears for a few seconds, then reappears.
4. When I reboot my laptop, the laptop goes into firmware update modus, updates the firmware, and starts Ubuntu.
What I expect:
After clicking "update now", Gnome software tells me my computer has
to restart the update. Either the update is listed and greyed out with
a "reboot required" message, or the update is not visible.
