** Description changed: * Impact Bios vendor is pushing to put the new design into cab file, and also new docking DW19 needs the new fwupd to support it. That needs new fwupd to support. * Background: 1. most user does firmware update via gnome-software and it talk to fwupd. 2. only very very limited user will call /usr/bin/fwupdate from the command line. 3. the new fwupd will need a new fwupd-signed. So we will remove fwupdate-signed. * Current test result before we have something in proposed channel: 1. new fwupd works well with gnome-software, so we should be safe to go. 2. for those very limited user, they can call /usr/lib/fwupd/fwupdate to replace /usr/bin/fwupdate. so it should be safe to remove fwupdate. * Test case - I + A. 1. install the new fwupd, and plugin the new docking - DW19. 2. fwupdmgr get-devices and check if all internal device can properly show - II. + + B. 1. If you can get new cab file, try to use fwupdmgr install XX.cab to see if can work properly. - III. + + C. 1.

Enable bionic-proposed. + 3. Run update-manager. + 4. Ensure that the fwupd and fwupd-signed packages are installed without error. * Regression potential Since the upstream maintainer is back up this upgrade, and he also works in a major computer vendor and works closely with the BIOS team, it should be fairly low risk.
