Describe your issue

I am trying to update my firmware, but it’s failing.

For this I installed sudo apt install fwupd and then ran fwupdtool update.

I do have an ESP (EFI System Partition) and this is a fresh install from just a few days ago, restored from yunohost backups from a year old system (on the same box).

Share relevant logs or error messages

sudo fwupdtool update
