[Bug 1969976] Re: DynamicUser=1 doesn't get along with services that need dbus-daemon

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package fwupd - 1.7.9-1~20.04.1

---------------
fwupd (1.7.9-1~20.04.1) focal; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release, and drop all patches since they are merged.
  * Properly fall back to use DMI instead of /sys/class/dmi interface.
    (LP: #1982103)
  * Build depends on mondemmanager 1.8 and libxmlb 0.3.6 to support
    EM120/160. (LP: #1980334)
  * Don't stderr-fail the autopkgtest on modprobe error as they are
    optional. (LP: #1966364)
  * Run fwupd-refresh under a dedicated fwupd-refresh user. This is
    fixed in 1.1.7, so it's automatically included. (LP: #1969976)

Bug description:
  Updating to systemd 245.4-4ubuntu3.16 has caused a regression in
  Ubuntu 20.04, that fwupd-refresh.service always fails to run.

  This has been root caused down to the changes in
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1871538

  Unfortunately this is an upstream issue introduced by stable systemd.
  https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/22737

  The problem also occurs in Ubuntu 22.04 with a newer systemd release.
  As discussed in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/+bug/1871538/comments/61 it's a tradeoff of issues.  So within Ubuntu something probably needs to be done about fwupd-refresh.service.

  One proposal is to remove DynamicUser=yes from the systemd unit, but
  this will mean fwupdgmr refresh runs as root.  It's relatively
  sandboxed by other security mechanisms, but still not ideal.  Could we
  repurpose any other service account?  Or alternatively we can make a
  new fwupd service account that this systemd unit uses.
