Title:
  Existing install path used for UEFI firmware updates

Status in fwupdate package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Dell XPS 13 9360 here with latest ubuntu (KDE). Clean install as sole
  operating system. I had a scheduled firmware update that didn't
  proceed on reboot. I run sudo fwupdmgr update --verbose and got (among
  other stuff):

  libfwup.c:1176 get_fd_and_media_path(): open of
  /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/fw/fwupdate-GfuBQT.cap failed: No such file or
  directory

  This is one of the common problems listed in
  https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/wiki/Common-Problems In this case it
  might be a problem in the ubuntu packaging. The correct folder should
  have been /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/fw/ I mean ubuntu here, above it was
  fedora!

  The workaround was creating /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/fw/ as per the wiki.
  It's said there that in the future version the folder will be
  automatically created. Despite that, I don't see any reason to have a
  fedora folder in my file system ;)

  In my way to the workaround I found that archlinux has had a similar
  problem. I copy here the link in case it helps:
