Bug#922770: lvfs: GRUB disappeared after Thinkpad T480s firmware update



I've filed the issue in here:

https://github.com/hughsie/lvfs-website/issues/262

I believe this debian bug can be closed (not familiar with the bug lifecycle in debian).

Sorry if I was wrong with bug severity.

Thanks to both of you.

Completely agree, nothing that fwupd has done here directly.
It's all the Lenovo firmware messing up.

Can you please report this to the upstream LVFS tracker?
https://github.com/hughsie/lvfs-website

Then that can be forwarded to the appropriate folks at Lenovo and this firmware
pulled from LVFS until this is fixed.
