[Bug 1900935] Re: Support to upgrade Synaptic fingerprint firmware from LVFS

[Łukasz Zemczak]

Hello jeremyszu, or anyone else affected,

Accepted fwupd-signed into groovy-proposed. The package will build now
and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd-
signed/1.30.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-groovy. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

** Changed in: fwupd-signed (Ubuntu Groovy)
       Status: In Progress => Fix Committed

** Tags added: verification-needed verification-needed-groovy

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Versions of fwupd older than 1.4.6 can not support upgrading Synaptics
  fingerprint readers.

  
  [Test Case]
  Try to update firmware from a synaptics fingerprint reader.

  [Regression Potential]
  This will require moving to fwupd 1.4.6 which is newer than the release in focal.  The patches for Synaptics fingerprint reader support depend upon daemon code that is not present in the 1.3.x series.

  There may be potentially other bugs with moving to this release.  More
  devices are supported which might mean exercising extra code paths.
