Bug#922331: fwupd: autopkgtest regression: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.freedesktop.fwupd: Timeout was reached

[<Mario.Limonciello@dell.com>]

I'm aware of this failure, but rather confused on how to debug it.

I just set up a buster machine and installed fwupd from unstable (using pinning)
but fwupd runtime tests work just fine (and talking to real hardware does too)
