fwupd
------
This has been fixed upstream in the 1.1.3 release, so marking the development release task complete.

------------
There is an SRU in progress for  3.28.1-0ubuntu4.18.04.4 that I don't want to de-rail by uploading a new patch for this bug.  Once that one is in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/commit/057eea7cc03d647544b5819ff37951f7bfffb77e should be added to this SRU bug.

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.
