Title:
  Please update to fwupd 1.5.5 to fix Gnome bug #1117

Status in fwupd package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Long story here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-
  software/-/issues/1117#note_1436723

  Short story: fresh Ubuntu 20.04 install, using gnome-software for a while and "suddenly" unusable, without any message in the UI. After long hours of searching I finally found this workaround: launching gnome-software setting GNOME_SOFTWARE_PLUGINS_BLOCKLIST=fwupd did the trick. 
  I don't know exactly what the user has done; but for sure no terminal, no system file edition, only UI clics.

  The fix in fwupd is here:
  https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/pull/2739/commits and published in
  1.5.5 release.

  What prevents from updating to fwupd 1.5.5 ?

  Thanks
